In this book, Anne has to do a report for school on a building and she decides to do it on a house that is said to be haunted. Anne, and two of her friends, Gena and Juniper are in the Fortune Tellers Club. The Fortune tellers Club always does everything together so when Anne goes to the Haunted House to take a picture of it, Gena and Juniper go along. Once Anne gets the picture developed she notices that it looks like there is a ghost in one of the windows. Anne's assignment turns into a mystery and members of The Fortune Tellers Club get frightened. Do you think that Anne saw a real ghost or that it was something else in the picture? I really enjoyed reading this book because I like taking pictures and Anne had to go to a professional photographer to find out if a ghost was living in The Haunted House. This was also a really good adventure.

Nice book series for my Granddaughter. I was pleased to be able to find all the titles in this series available from one source.

The Fortune Tellers Club is a delightful series by professional storyteller Dotti Enderle. This series, geared towards ages 9-12, features three best friends--Juniper Lynch, Anne Donovan, and Gena Richmond--who use divination to solve mysteries, explain relationships, and understand life experiences.

Supposedly haunted by "The Gray Lady", 701 Shady Lane is a two-story Victorian that's home to a chilling legend involving a gruesome suicide.

When the Fortune Tellers Club gets a school assignment to write a report on a landmark, Anne opts for "Boogerman's House"--the residence of the mysterious Gray Lady. Bringing along a digital camera and a good dash of bravery, Anne decides to explore the haunted house on Shady Lane. To her surprise, she sees a figure in the window--and captures it on film!

Does the image turn out to be legitimate? And what of the horrifying tale of old Mr. Nicholson where he recounts a childhood experience with the Gray Lady--complete with her bulging eyes, black tongue, and razor-sharp nails that clawed into his cheek?

Using a triple dose of divination--Juniper's pendulum, Gena's Mystic Genie, and Anne's deck of playing cards--the FTC have a predict-off to discern whether or not they should explore the abandoned house on Shady Lane.

This is by far the scariest of the series, as well as the most intriguing. A suspenseful plot, strong characters, and spooky setting make The Ghost of Shady Lane a very satisfying read. If you enjoy ghost stories, you'll love this book!
