This was sweet, and I sure did love Bug (and Moira and Griffin). It did feel a little unevenly paced (the last 20% or so covering a lot of ground the rest of the book didn't). And maybe a little imbalanced in the way that YA books sometimes just are - like it's hard to forget a kid is being written by an adult.

But, again, sweet and I'm so glad books like this will be lined on library shelves for kids to find.

And turns out I enjoy the vibe of this type of "old haunted house in the Vermont woods" story.

(I do admit that I worried more about Bug's mom's financial issues than any of the ghosts for most of the book. I am almost 40 after all.)
