Having grown up in and presently living in a house over 100 years old, and always being intruigued by their mysteries and the people that lived in them, I eagerly turned the pages for what might happen next. I loved the weaving of the local historical facts which ended up being parts of the bigger history of our country. The present day conversatons were enjoyable, current and gave me a chuckle more than on

This is a first reads win!
When this book first started out I was really put off by Merrideth being such a sullen child and her mother giving her candy to get her to do what she wanted.

I hate to say this, but my overall impression of this book was kind of mediocre. However, I think a large part of this was due to the fact that it seems to be aimed at a younger audience, and I am in fact...an adult. That said, this book would probably be pretty good for kids--probably girls--in the middle school age range.
