Ellen Streater and her brother Corey are going to die . . . every night all week long, playing parts in the Historical Haunted House. It's all for a good cause-the Historical Society is raising money to turn the old Clayton House into a museum. Everyone says the creaky old mansion is a perfect place for the Halloween festivities, since the house really is haunted. But Ellen never expects the ghost of Clayton House to appear to her-and lead her into a nightmare beyond her wildest dreams.

"Readers . . . will be waiting in line for this action-packed novel, which combines a good mystery with an exciting ghost story, a little danger, and a satisfying ending." (Booklist)
