Book Description

August 7, 2007

Emily was a selfish, willful, hateful child who died before her thirteenth birthday. But that was a long time ago.

Jane is nine years old and an orphan when she and her young Aunt Louisa come to spend the summer at Jane's grandmother's house, a large, mysterious mansion in Massachusetts. Then one day . . . Jane stares into a reflecting ball in the garden—and the face that looks back at her is not her own.

Many years earlier, a child of rage and malevolence lived in this place. And she never left. Now Emily has dark plans for little Jane—a blood-chilling purpose that Louisa, just a girl herself, must battle with all her heart, soul, and spirit . . . or she will lose her innocent, helpless niece forever.

One of the most adored ghost stories of all time is available again after thirty years—to thrill and chill a new generation!

5.0 out of 5 stars Patricia Clapp..., January 24, 2006
This review is from: Jane-Emily (Paperback)
Hi Sonja...

Patricia Clapp was my grandmother. I was very young when "Jane-Emily" was published, and although I tried to read it then, it scared the daylights out of me. To this day, it is the one book she wrote which I can't get through. My oldest daughter, now 15, has read Jane-Emily a bunch of times and loves it.

My grandmother died two years ago. I'm sure she would have loved knowing how her words touched your life.

Jen

5.0 out of 5 stars This book left an enormous impression on me as a little girl, October 29, 1998
By A Customer
This review is from: Jane-Emily (Paperback)
It's a shame this book is nowhere to be found. I checked Jane-Emily out of the library every weekend my entire third-grade year. For fifteen years, it's blend of romance, psychological drama, gothic suspense and unforgettable characters has remained in my subconscious. Without giving the plot away, I must say that there are pieces of the book that are still so vivid to me -- the forbidding house, the giant glass ball in the yard, Emily locking herself in her bedroom. Jane-Emily is remarkably mature for a YA novel; many of the themes and situations are ones present in adult fiction of this genre (reincarnation, ghosts, a haunted house, mysterious death), and it borrows a lot of it's gracefully dark, ominous style from Edgar Allan Poe and Shirley Jackson. I would love to read Jane-Emily as an adult -- it would be like stepping back into a relentlessly haunting memory. WHERE IS THIS BOOK?

5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful! Please, please, reissue!, July 2, 2006
This review is from: Jane-Emily (Hardcover)
I too read this back in the 70s, and adored that little chill, the thrill of the suspense and the scare. I do wish they would reissue for this generation of readers. I can't think of anything current that has the same feel. There's none of the gore of modern horror, just the scare of the inexplicable, the unknown, and the eerie. I'd snap it up for my younger relatives in a heartbeat if it were available.
