If you're looking for a good mystery/ghost story, then look no further. DEEP AND DARK AND DANGEROUS by Mary Downing Hahn offers mystery, suspense, and some great ghost action. Recently, Ali stumbled across an old photo of her mother and aunt when they were young girls. There was something odd about the photo. It appeared that another girl had been part of the picture but her part was torn ...

Great Book
I absolutely love Mary Downing Hahn books, starting in the fifth grade when I first read Wait till Helen Comes. That seriously is one of the BEST books I have ever read. So then after that book, I read A Doll in the Garden. Those two books were so good, but then at the time there were barely any of her books there at my school, so I didn't really get to read much more of her work. But then when I ...

Best book this summer
I loved this story. I love stories about witches and fairies and adults who are mean to children, then the children outsmart them. This book has all three themes. Jen and Kieryn make a great team, and especially at the end. Moura is a very vivid character, too, and Tink is a very good character, even though he's a cat. He doesn't say anything, but he's a big part of the story. Kieryn's brother is ...

Not really a ghost story - but very good!
This book surprised me because I thought it was going to be a spooky ghost story - but it wasn't. That doesn't mean it wasn't good, because it was, I just wouldn't classify it as a ghost story, in case that is what you are expecting. Drew is spending his summer with his great- aunt Blythe in her and her father's deep-rooted house. After the two are looking through the attic, they inadvertently ...

Sharing this book with the next generation!
I loved this book when I was a pre-teen. I now have an 11 year son who has read and loves this book, and now we are reading all of her books. Obviously, these are geared toward kids, but I have to say that I am enjoying the books as well. The plus of course, is that we're reading, we're doing something together, and making memories that will last a lifetime. Mary Downing Hahn is a well-crafted ...

First time Hahn reader
This was the first book Ive read by this author. I got it from my sons school Book Fair. I wanted to read it before he read it to make sure it was age appropriate. I expected it to be a bit cheesy, and hokey. I was surprised! Its very good. The author was very elequent and descriptive. It was a page turner for me. I would say its not for children who scare easily. While its not gorey, it is a ...

I thought this book was a wonderful story of a girl-Kelly-who, through some investigating of a vietnam vetran, found that there are reasons that people are having trouble groing on with their lives after the war. It had a good plot to it, and, though predictable in a way, kept you interested in what would happend. Also, it was a very emotional book, because when Kelley finally begins to ...

Following In My Own Footsteps
This book was awesome. It was set in the time of World War two and the details of this book grabs you into the story, and you dont want to put it down. It gives the mind to think of the other people in the world who do get abused like the family in this book. It also gives a bit of history about the president Roosevelt and how the war began/ended. This book is a must read book to anyone who come ...
