  <default_description>&lt;DIV&gt;From moving to a new house to making new friends and preparing for high school, life for the new girl in town can be unsettling. But thirteen year-old Courtney is unprepared for how creepy life in Murmur, Massachusetts turns out to be. Her ivy-covered house overlooking the antiquated cemetery next door is one thing, but Courtney finds herself thrust into a full-fledged haunted adventure after meeting Christian and Margaret Geyer, a strange father and daughter with unfinished family business. The body of their ancestor, Prudence, has gone missing from beneath her ivy-carved tombstone and must be returned to its final resting place in order to break the spell that looms over Courtney&amp;#8217;s house. To add to the suspense and help solve the mystery, authentic documents and photographs are set at the beginning of each chapter pertaining to Murmur, Courtney&amp;#8217;s house, and the infamous cemetery. Will Courtney uncover the secret lurking within the dark, dank underbelly of her ivy-covered basement?&lt;/DIV&gt;</default_description>

    <body><![CDATA[A great little ghost story that's short enough it can be read in an afternoon. Reminded me of childhood faves, 'Watcher in the Woods' (the book, not the Disney movie roughly based on it) and 'Wait Till Helen Comes'. The story is enhansed by some pretty cool artwork. Appropriate for ages 11 and up. I...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/43260226">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[Right off the bat you know there is something not quite right with Margaret and her dad, Mr. Greyers. That's how the whole book moves. Everything is a little too mysterious. So if you are looking for a very safe, not too scary, and very predictable ghost story this is it.]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[It took a long time for this book to get to the point. It seemed like there would be a great and satisfying ending because of the lack of action. I found the end to be a let down. it was not clever or exciting. The book itself had beautiful pictures and artwork throughout. Quite a disappointment.]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[This book is a very original idea, unfortunately there were times when I felt my attention stray. This was a beautifully designed cover, something you rarely see anymore; even though it was a fast read, it was satisfying. ]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[Halfway through this novel, I'm wanting to say it's a short story gone on way too long. I get absolutely no sense of who the main character really is, which is disappointing as it is a ghost story mystery told in first person. All I can say is: I'm hoping there'll be a nice twist to make reading thi...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/27393626">more...</a>]]></body>
