This book was a really quick and easy read for me because it was mostly for younger kids. I found it in my 10 year old cousin's bedroom and borrowed it and read it in about an hour and a half.
But that doesn't mean it wasn't necessarily good!
It's about a new family: Molly and Michael's mom has just married Heather's dad. Heather is a monster of a child, always causing a commotion or blaming Molly or Michael on something they didn't do to cause friction between the parents. The bad part is that Heather's dad and Molly's mom always believe what Heather is telling them because she witnessed her mother's death a few years back.
When they move out in the country into an old church house with a freaky graveyard in the back, Heather discovers a new ghostly friend....
It's a really good book, so pick it up if you need a slightly scary book that'll keep you on the edge of your seat :)
