She is now a foster child and her brother and his wife want nothing to do with her so they send her to the Mercy family.

She decides she will not talk about Rose and the two men anymore, but she will not give up on trying to figure out what Rose wants, and she will not stop prying into Dena's past until she figures out the truth about what happened that horrible summer.

The book The Ghost of Mercy Manor is a great book. The protagonist is Gwen and the conflict is she keeps seeing ghost and she doesn't understand what they are trying to tell her. It all started when Gwen had to live with a different family because her brother got married and his wife didn't like Gwen, and it never what happened to her parents. So she meets this family and keeps seeing this ghost named Rose who always puts a rose in Gwen's room to tell when she is going to come out. If the book sounds interesting you can read it and see what happens. The last thing is the part I liked. My favorite part was when Gwen first saw the ghost.

"The Ghost of Mercy Manor"will leave you in suspence.You won't want to put this book down.Once you've finsh it you will wish you where still reading it.I've read 10 other books by this author and this is one of the best.

I like this book because it is a good mystery and suspenseful. No one I knew had read this book so I wasn't sure if it was a good book. Once I got to the third chapter, I couldn't set it down. The main character is Gwen. Her parents just died in a car accident and her aunt Mary just died. Gwen's brother just married a girl named Liz. Liz doesn't want Gwen to live with them so Gwen goes to a foster home called Mercy Manor. At Mercy Manor she sees a ghost girl. The ghost girl leaves roses in Gwen's bedroom. If you want to find out who the ghost girl is and what connection she has to Mercy Manor you'll have to read the book. Mercy Manor is a 172 pages. It is a 5th grade level book and for ages 8-12. Even though it's reccomended for ages 8 and up.

I loved this book because you never knew what was going to happen next. Betty Ren Wright always did the unexpected. Read it! You will not regret it.

The Ghosts of Mercey Manor was a wounderful book. I love to read about ghost stories. They are so exciting I can never put them down. The story was about a girl named Gwen who just moved into a new house with her foster parents. She kept seeing this ghost girl with long golden hair, and she was scared to go to sleep because she thought that it would come out and haunt her. Nobody in her family believed her and everybody thought she was insane, except one night her foster brother Jason saw the ghost girl and then Gwen and Jason convinced their parents that there was a ghost girl. Gwen finally got over being scared, and nobody thought she was insane anymore. The only part that I didn't like about the book was that it ended really quickly.

My grand daughter picked out the book ,, read it in no time,,, really loves to read,, an liked this book a lot,,, I try to obtain any book she wants or needs, better than being on phone, computer or those electronic readers,, nothing feels better than an old fashion book in ones hands,,,

The Ghost of Mercy Manor, is scary book you might think but it is not. It's freaky, because there are ghosts and an old house. If you like mystery books, you would love this book. The book is written by Betty Ren Wright. Its about a girl named Gwen that lives with her aunt, but one day the aunt dies. Gwen is now a foster child and she lives with someone she doesn't even know! The family has two other kids, Jason and Tessie. She sees ghosts too and no one will believe her. One of the ghosts tries to get her to follow her down into the basement, into the fruit cellar, but when her foster parents find her there, she gets punished.The dad gets mad at her for saying she sees ghosts and the mom gets scared. Her foster dad says she has to leave, but Jason and Tessie do not want her to leave. If you want to find out what happens get the book and read it.
