I enjoyed this ghostly adventure.
Set in a quiet town, with old Victorian homes and modern cottages, Avery our main character is on summer vacation along with her brother. Finding things to do can be tedious, but when a boy moves in near their Grandmothers home, the adventures begin. Julian, the boy who moved in, is into film making. So when he sees an old, run down Victorian which happens to belong to Avery's Grandma, he knows the moment he sees it, that this is the place for a film. Avery is not allowed on the property and she doesn't know why, only that the last time she broke the rules she received a beating for it.
As the kids explore the creepy home, ghostly things begin to happen and the film begins.
I read this book in a day and really got into it. Even though it was written from a teenage perspective, I think any adult who appreciates a good ghost story, would enjoy it.
One of my favorite lines from the book which I think would resonate with many of us was, "To me, being Avery meant loving stories. On the page, on the screen and in my head before I went to sleep at night. Before this summer, all I wanted was to escape into the tales of people from past times and unusual places. But what about unusual people who lived in ordinary places. In the here and now?"
I highly recommend this book!
