5.0 out of 5 stars
same book as "The Haunting of Granite Falls", "The Haunting of Hiram",
This review is from: The Haunting of Hiram C. Hopgood (Hardcover)
This book is the same as the "The Haunting of Granite Falls", and "The Haunting of Hiram" by the same author. Just a different title and different cover art, same book inside. This is not the author's fault by the way, it is just that 2 publishers have the right to publish her books, they Puffin and Macmillan, and this is what they have done. For some reason that is done with another book from this author, "Island of the Aunts" is also released as "Monster Mission". Personally, I like the artwork on the Macmillan covers better and it is nice to have the choice, as long as you know BEFORE you buy that it is the same book. Some people have been unhappy as they were hoping to get their hands on a new story by Eva. It is even worse if it is a gift.On to the story.... This is a book about a rich Texan that buys a Scottish Castle named Carra from the last heir of an old family, an orphan boy. But he does not want any ghosts included as he is worried that they will scare the little girl that will live in the castle. The millionaire ships the whole thing stone by stone and rebuilds it in Texas. But the castle does have ghosts, very nice ones who have helped raise the boy. They include a viking, a ghost dog, and Miss Spinks. What the millionaire does not notice is that the ghosts do come with the castle. The boy flies to America to get the ghosts out and stays in the castle. When they learn they cannnot stay, they move into an old movie theatre next door, where they meet the mysterious ghost hand. Somehow, he is trying to solve the mystery of his murder many years ago. And when the little girl is kidnapped for ransom, the ghosts must join the effort to rescue her and the boy. This book is suspenseful, but hilarious. The author creates the most charming characters you can imagine. I strongly reccommend.
