More About the Author

I've published 45 books; all but two are for children. I wrote magazine articles, short stories, and plays for many years before I discovered that what I like best is to write books for kids.
When I was twelve, I was paralyzed with polio. I made almost a full recovery but I remember that time of my life so clearly that it's easy for me to write from the viewpoint of a twelve or thirteen-year-old.
I'm always thrilled when one of my books wins a state young reader award, because I know those awards are voted on by children.
I am a widow who was married for 48 years. I have two grown children and four grandchildren. I live on a small wildlife sanctuary near Mt. Rainier National Park and I often have deer and elk in my yard.

A Kid's Review

This review is from: Horror at the Haunted House (Paperback)

Ellen Streater is the main character of the book. Ellen and her little brother Cory went to sign up for parts in the Historical haunted house.Ellen got joan of Arc, who gets burned alive on a stake.

The plot for the book is when meets lydia's ghost.Lydia follows her everywhere she goes. She even followed her to the Joan of Arc scene. Lydia's ghost caused her to have nightmares.That is the plot of the story.

Horror at the haunted house takes place in the haunted house.The time was not given.

The theme of the story is a little girl trying to free a stolen haunted house.

I Amanda liked the story because I love mysteries!!!!!!!!!

This review is from: Horror at the Haunted House (Paperback)

My book is called Horror at the Haunted House by Peg Kehret, published by Pocket Books,and the publish date is November of 1994. If you like horror and mystery then I've got a book for you. My book is about a Halloween in a haunted house. With a ghost running around, but the ghost is trying to tell Ellen something. That something will change Ellen's life forever.That is because of Agnas a horrible person I think. agnas tries to take and replace very old things from a very old house. My favorite part is when Ellen first sees the ghost of Lydia. Her hands came out of an old black urnbut they did not harm her. I others will like this book because it keeps you on the edge of your seat. I think the main character is very realistic. This book is action packed. There is a surprising twist in the middle of this boook. It will make you scared. If you like scary books you will love this book. I would rate this book 10 goosebumps out 10.
