This review is from: The Ghosts of Mercy Manor (Paperback)

Gwen's Great Aunt Mary has just died and she has no mother or father because they died in a car crash five years before. 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 is surprised to find she is very comfortable around them, especially Tessie. A girl frightens her when she first arrives because she is sitting at Tessie's window looking down at them, and Dena, her foster mom, said nothing about another girl in the family. Dena said the only family members were her, Tessie, Jason, and Mr. Mercy. She turns around and notices that Tessie has seen the girl too. It turns out this girl, Rose, is a ghost and is linked to a horrible summer that involved a murder where Dena spent that summer when she was a little girl. Rose won't leave her alone, and she is horrified to know that two other desperate men haunt the house. Mr. Mercy says that she will have to leave if she does not stop talking about these ghosts because it is upsetting Dena and the rest of the 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.

This review is from: The Ghosts of Mercy Manor (Paperback)

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.
