Ghost Followed Us Home

Frightmares #5

by Peg Kehret

Doll museum burglarized!
Kayo Benton and Rosie Saunders race to the museum to check on their favorite dolls. Everything seems okay. But the keys to the display cases are missing. And the musical mohair cat is playing a song...as if squeezed by unseen hands. Someone...something...is watching them. But who? And who is the strange-looking soldier in the rumpled uniform who's following them, beckoning them to return? Rosie thinks it's a ghost -- a ghost with a tragic secret. Soon they're back again, locked in the museum after closing time, trapped between two ghosts -- and a pair of ruthless thieves...

Darling! Scribd has a good selection of Peg Kehret’s books. I didn’t realize this was a series but I didn’t suffer for the mistake. This series centers on two friends who have an animal-centric welfare club (Animal Care Club?) who accidentally solve mysteries. This book sees them encounter ghosts in a doll museum.
Audiobook is great - narrator did a perfect job.

Great author from Washington state. Her books are witty and suspenseful with resourceful kids. She always has a sweet side story which usually features a cat or dog (or ghost!). My kids love her books.
