Synopsis

"A page turner that will keep mystery buffs reading to the frightening climax and satisfactory conclusion."—School Library Journal Why does the ghost of a little girl haunt a bedroom in the old Watson House? When Nina ("Nine") Tanleven gets a part-time job at Norma Bliss's antique shop, she doesn't expect it to lead to her next ghost. But antiques are a link to the past, and when Nine and Norma (along with Nine's best pal Chris), go to the old Watson house to pick up an antique wardrobe, they do indeed find something from the past: the ghost of a little girl who haunts the big brass bed in the tower room. Who is this child? What is her story? What is she waiting for? And what does "Early Harvest," the gruesome painting that hangs in the parlor, have to do with it all? As Nine and Chris struggle to unlock the secrets of a long ago tragedy, the trail of clues leads them to a startling discovery. Unfortunately, solving the mystery may cost them their lives!

There's plenty of classic tropes used to great effect: the haunted ho......more

Nine helps out her dad's friend at her antique shop and ends up getting her and Chris mixed up with two ghosts - a child waiting for her father, who is stuck outside. I definitely remember how this and Rilla of Ingleside combined to give me my first understanding of WW1 - the scene were Nine ends up......more
