4.0 out of 5 stars Just one little complaint, January 28, 2006

Anna M. Ligtenberg "AnnaLovesBooks" (Chicago) - See all my reviews
(VINE VOICE)

This review is from: The Ghost at Dawn's House (The Baby-Sitters Club #9) (Paperback)

ISBN 0590435086 - Martin's The Baby-Sitters Club series as a whole is great reading and The Ghost at Dawn's House misses the 5 star mark by mere sentences.

Maybe it's just her imagination. After all, there's stormy weather and scary stories and they DO live in an old house... so maybe Dawn's not really hearing noises behind her wall - but she thinks she is, and sets out to find the secret passage that she's sure is there. When she finds it, the mystery just begins. What, or who, is making those noises? Is her house really haunted? If so, who's haunting it and why?

In the meantime, the BSC is dealing with their feelings about the Perkinses, who now live in Kristy's old house, and Nicky Pike is feeling left out because the other Pike boys don't want to play with him, so he finds a special place to call his own and takes to disappearing on his sitters!

The ending was incomplete, to me, leaving too much unanswered. Unfortunately, if I go into it, I'll give away too much! I do hope Martin revisits Dawn's ghost and her secret passage, if only to clean up the unfinished threads of this book. Even so, BSC fans will enjoy the story, as always!

5.0 out of 5 stars Is there a ghost in your house? There is in Dawns!, December 1, 2003

A Kid's Review

This review is from: The Ghost at Dawn's House (The Baby-Sitters Club #9) (Paperback)

Dawn is 12 years old. She moved to Stoneybrook, Conneticut from California. Her mom just got divorced, that is why they moved, to start over, and her grand parents live there. She meets a new friend named MaryAnne Spier. She hears a lot of creeking and moaning. She discovers a hidden passage in her bedroom!
This is a good book to read if you like page turning mystery's. Once you start this book you cant put it down until you finish it. This is a book for everyone, expecially if you are a babysitter. It gives you a lot of good tips for your jobs. It has battles in friendship. Alot of the things that happen to us in our everyday lives is in this book. I hope you enjoy this book. I sure did!

5.0 out of 5 stars Haunted?, April 18, 2005

Gabriel Fernandez "Book Addict" (Canoga Park, CA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)

This review is from: The Ghost at Dawn's House (Baby-Sitters Club) (Paperback)

Dawn has always thought there was a secret passage hidden in her house. But she never thought there was a ghost...until now. All kinds of creepy things go whenever Dawn's at home. There are even spooky noises behind her bedroom wall!

Dawn is sure there's a ghost in her house. And so are the other BSC Members. But they are so busy with their baby sitting jobs that they hardly have time for a ghost hunt. Will Dawn and her friends solve the spooky mystery or will Dawn have to share her house...with a ghost?
