Hello. I'm trying to track down a book from my childhood. I read it in the late 1980s, though it might be older because it was in our school library. I believes it is a book about 2 kids exploring this old house where anawful noise comes from..I think the noise was a sound called "Tallapooooosa" (Something like that. In the end it turned out to be a cat or something like that....HELP! I remember the art was very nice, and the middle spalsh page had the two kids at the bottom of the hill looking up at this old house.....

This sounds a little like The Tailypo: A Ghost Story (published 1984), because that's a book where I can remember someone hearing a noise "taillyyypoooo" from a house, although this has an old man and not kids.
Thats it! YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS! Thank you!!!!!!!!!!!!!! My 15 year quest has finally ended.....
Wonderful, Chris, and Mlk. I can't find this book to shelve it. And, is it a children's book? I am going to put it in the children's/ya folder unless you say it should be moved. If you can give me a link to the book or at least the author, perhaps I can find it and shelve it. Thanks so much.

Any book donated to them goes into their library sale.
And, I appreciate the offer but right now I am so overbooked I have books piled up all over the place, many library books with due dates. But thank you.
