Beware of Helen... Heather is such a whiny little brat. Always getting Michael and me into trouble. But since our mother married her father, we're stuck with her...our "poor stepsister" who lost her real mother in a mysterious fire. But now something terrible has happened. Heather has found a new friend, out in the graveyard behind our home -- a girl named Helen who died with her family in a mysterious fire over a hundred years ago. Now her ghost returns to lure children into the pond...to drown! I don't want to believe in ghosts, but I've followed Heather into the graveyard and watch her talk to Helen. And I'm terrified. Not for myself, but for Heather...

A Ghost Story

From the bookshelf of the group Everyday is Halloween. Never read this as a kid somehow?

I don't know how I missed this as a kid; it's the kind of ghost story I'd have loved then and love now.

Twelve-year-old Molly and her ten-year-old brother, Michael, have never liked their seven-year-old stepsister, Heather. Ever since their parents got married, she's made Molly and Michael's life miserable. Now their parents have moved them all to the country to live in a house that used to be a church, with a cemetery in the backyard. If that's not bad enough, Heather starts talking to a ghost named Helen and warning Molly and Michael that Helen is coming for them. Molly feels certain Heather is in some kind of danger, but every time she tries to help, Heather twists things around to get her into trouble. It seems as if things can't get any worse. But they do—when Helen comes.

All I ever wanted in a children ghost story. 

This is a ghost story. But it is MORE than just a ghost story. It is not exist just to frighten you or to give you goosebumps. It will take you on a journey and it will make you feel all sorts of feeling. 
Wait till Helen Comes told in first point of view. 
It’s a story about a family, a complicated one, (One girl, one boy, a mother, a step father & a step sister) who moved into an old church in the country to have a new start. What the kids not aware of is the graveyard that lay close to their home. What happened then? well, go read it! :)

I’d say this story is pretty straight forward & won’t give you unnecessary details. If you want to read a fast pace ghost story that won’t give you nightmare but still gives you the creeps , than you’ll love this book. Be warned that once you read the first paragraph, you won’t know how to stop.
