For fans of creepy stories like Small Spaces, and the spine-tingling novels of Mary Downing Hahn and K.R. Alexander, The Lonely Ghost is the chilling story of twin sisters haunted by a mysterious ghost.

A haunting like no other. . .At first, twin sisters Ava and Cassie are excited to move into a ramshackle old mansion in a new town. But any romantic ideas they had are quickly dashed. The house is dirty, dusty, and falling apart. Worse, it's infamous around town as "that creepy old haunted house."

When the sisters remove some wallpaper in the bedroom, they find child-like drawings of a screaming girl. Then Cassie starts acting oddly. Ava can't put her finger on it, but she's just not quite herself. And if Cassie's not herself, then who is she becoming?

Ava's never been one to believe in ghosts, but something creepy is happening, she's sure of it. There's a definite ghostly presence in their house— and it's set its sights on Cassie.

      Sisters struggle to make a haunted house feel like home. As the Chapel family settles into Blackthorn House, which they plan to renovate, seventh grade fraternal twins Ava and Cassie go through the awkward transition of being the new kids at school. But the sisters make fast friends on the bus with two girls who show them around, and all four bond quickly over their similar reading interests. When their new friends reveal that Blackthorn House has a reputation for being haunted, Ava worries about Cassie, whose behavior starts to change after discovering a creepy, childish drawing beneath the wallpaper. Ava finds out more about the past residents, who include sisters Lily and Violet Blackthorn from the early 20th century. When the girls listen to a cassette tape that was hidden inside a wall, they are frightened by its recording of a s�ance conducted in 1978. Ava's concerns increase as Cassie's changes and challenges begin to mirror those of a prior Blackthorn resident. Ava and her new friends scheme about what to do when an increasingly troublesome "polterghost" makes an appearance. Main characters are White; Ava and Cassie's new friends are racially diverse. Ford delivers a quick read with gentle frights and familiar themes that will appeal to middle-grade readers and fans of plot-oriented stories with supernatural twists. An appealing ghost story for budding book lovers. (Paranormal. 8-12)
