Harold and his mom are really excited when a famous author moves in next door. Then he is even more excited when he finds out that Mr. Goolz has 2 daughters around his age. But, when things start getting weird - strange lights, a ghostly looking lady, and more Harold starts getting a bit nervous. It turns out that Mr. Goolz has used the Stone of the Dead to try and get his wife back but instead it has summoned someone else . Can Harold and the girls figure out what she wants before more people die or go missing?
This wasn't bad. There was some good action and creep factor although I felt it got a bit violent and gory for some of the ages I work with. I also wish there had been more back story about the ghost and about the stone. Kids who like books by Mary Downing Hahn, etc will enjoy this and it looks to be the first in a series.
