What do you do when a ghost needs your help?
Haunted
Jon doesn’t
believe in ghosts. Not even if his mother does, and married a man who
researches ghost sightings for his own TV show. Not even when they travel with
the show, and visit “haunted” places.
But his
younger sister Tania claims she can see the ghosts. Deciding to believe her is
just the first challenge. Softhearted Tania wants to help the ghosts. First the
siblings have to find out what happened to keep each ghost trapped in this
world. Then they have to help the ghosts move on—sometimes by letting them take
over Tania’s body. All this while dealing with their overprotective mother, a
stepfather who’d want to exploit Tania’s gift, and a changing assortment of
human troublemakers.
Life gets
interesting when your sister sees ghosts. And the TV show’s shooting season is
just beginning....
Praise for The Haunted series:
Haunted is a fun read with some thrills and chills and has
the added bonus of some genuine, compassionate personalities. - School Library
Journal
...a fantastic story, ripe with suspense and filled with
likable, tangible characters.
I highly recommend this book for girls and boys (and adults)
who like mysteries. You should definitely read this book!
By turns touching, and with genuinely creepy moments, this
is a wonderful addition to ghost lore fiction....
What I loved most of all, was the way my 4th grade daughter
got sucked into the story. She's a reluctant reader so it was a joy to see her
completely absorbed in a book; she immediately started the second book in the
series when she finished, and can't wait for more.
Thirteen-year-old Jon and his
eleven-year-old sister, Tania, are typical kids – except for the fact that
Tania can communicate with ghosts. Their mom and stepdad are producers of a
ghost-hunter reality television show, but they don’t know about Tania’s gift –
and Tania wants to keep it that way.

Jon and Tania are back and
tracking down more ghosts, this time on the Mississippi
River on an antique river-boat. With them are their mother and
stepfather, producers of a hit TV show about "real-life" ghosts -- a
topic no one on the crew seems to take all that seriously. But Tania has a gift
-- she can see and communicate with ghosts, and this time she’s in touch with
the spirit of a riverboat captain who accidentally caused the boat to catch
fire, and he’s making trouble for everyone. Will Tania be able to help this
troubled spirit find peace before disaster strikes again?
When Jon and Tania attend a
costume party at a museum full of ancient arms and armor -- relics that have been
through bloody battles, or worse -- it doesn’t surprise either of them to
discover a ghost lurking in the shadows. But this particular ghost is on a
mission, and if Jon and Tania don’t help him, he just might become the warrior
he was when he was alive, and that means trouble -- and danger -- for
everyone involved!
Jon and Tania are traveling with
the ghost hunter TV show again, this time to the Superstition Mountains of
Arizona, where the ghost of an old miner is still looking for his lost mine.
The siblings want to help him move on—but to help him resolve the problem
keeping him here, they’ll have to find the mine. And even then, the old ghost
may be having too much fun to leave! It’s a good thing Tania can see and talk
to him, because the kids will need his help to survive the rigors of a mule
train through the desert, a flash flood, and a suspicious treasure hunter who
wants the gold mine for himself.
