Antonomasia I just deleted my response to your duplicate thread. Here's the bit that's still relevant :)

What type of setting was it? Fairytale? Fantary world? Realistic apart from the ghosts?
Can you remember which country it was set in or where it was from?
And around when did you read it?
Any idea of when the book was written?

Petra | 5 comments it was around five years ago

As far as i can remember it was realistic aside from the ghosts

Jaina Rose (ireadtilldawn) | 52 comments The Doll in the Garden/The Old Willis Place I couldn't find a copy of just the one book, but look and see if it's the Old Willis Place. I read it a few years ago and it sounds really similar.

Congrats Petra. I've checked and you can find a copy of the single book at www.Paperbackswap.com.

In the meantime, I'll shelve the book and move this thread down to Solved for you.

Oh, in weirdly enough--if you put in the ISBN for the novel, you can get the title to come up. But that is the ONLY way you can get it to come up--otherwise it only shows that double book.


Jaina Rose (ireadtilldawn) | 52 comments Good, I'm glad that was it! For the record, that book is super creepy . . .


Cheryl (cherylllr) Search was broken over the weekend - The Old Willis Place should work now...
