About this book

"Dear Diary, I'm not one to believe in ghost stories, but there have been rumors saying that the house on Heliotrope Lane is haunted. I thought that's all it was - rumors - until I went there myself. It all started when my classmate Willa asked for my help; her friend had been acting weird ever since they visited the house, and Willa was worried her friend was possessed. Bess, George, and I went to check it out. I know this shounds crazy, but I swear I saw something looking at me from the basement window. Is there really a ghost haunting the house on Heliotrope Lane?"-- Back cover.
