Let me tell you â the mother and father annoyed me a fair bit in the beginning and throughout the book even. I understand wanting to do your own thing, but these kids are only 7, 10, and 12. Maybe back then it was normal to consider them able to make decisions even a teen might struggle with. Seriously, snakes. Also, believing in your own children, but still being able to see their faults⦠Well, I could go on.

Anyway, this book is a good example of parents or adults not believing kids because of their age. It's not just about the ghost thing, but also about the deal with Heather. I was hoping for an apology to Molly and maybe Michael in the end, but the end of the book made that useless because of the circumstances. I actually forget about that until I started writing this. But I got pretty frustrated at how people were treating Molly, even though I could understand to some extent their reasoning for not believing her. I like that in a book though, if it can make me frustrated as long as I'm still enjoying it.

At one point, Molly was thinking about death and I swear I felt like burrowing in a hole and crying. The way she thought of it was so touching and frightening.

There were a couple of grammar mishaps I happened to catch, just a couple.

I was very glad about the happy ending. I wish the author had gone into a bit more detail about Heather's change, but overall it was good.
