A Ghost Story

The Doll in the Garden

I started reading Mary Downing Hahn's books in elementary school. I still have all the books I picked up by her. I have read them before but simply couldn't remember what most of them were about. So I decided to mark them as unread and reread them! 

I'm glad I did. I enjoyed reading this book. To a young child, I can see it being scary as there are mentions of ghost. Overall, it is a great book for children to read. Topics of forgiveness between friends and coping with death of a love one is handled well within the books. 

The reason for the four star rating is simply because Kristi was very annyoing. I understand the character is seven, but she acted younger in my opinion.

I can't wait to reread the rest of the books I own by Mary Downing Hahn!
