Will the evil be vanquished. I would read this book over and over again. Who is the inscrutable evil that haunts Graymoss. She shows an evil mood, when she describes the mysterious evil that haunts the old plantation house. Lia's parents plan to move there and raise unadoptable children. The exposition could use a little work but otherwise the book is breath-taking.This book gave me the jitters, but a chill that fills my mind with questions. Lia loves to read and doesn't solcialize well with others.
What if ghost do exist. I would recommend this book to people who love a good spine-chilling, horrifying, spooky tale. What if they're watching you right now. In summary, Joan Lowery Nixon knows how to write a good book from expostion to the closing sentence.
Joan Lowery Nixon is a striking writer. Lia is shy and very unsure of herself. After the death of Lia's great-grandmother, Sarah, an old plantation house named Graymoss is left in Lia's mother's hands. According to a mysterious lady that lives in the wood behind Graymoss, Lia will have to set free the evil that haunts Graymoss after dusk for the house to be "liveable." Will Lia save Graymoss. The main character in the story is Lia Langley who looks back on her families' past and feels she doesn't fit in. The plot revolves around the stories of Graymoss and the mystifying things that happen after dark. Nixon's style is mysterious murders, ghosts, and other things that go bump in the night. The plot is very easy to follow.
What if they're standing right behind you. All the women in her family have been exceptionally brave except for her. It's clear that Lia's goal us to get rid of the the ghost that haunt Graymoss. If I had to rate this book from 1 to 10, without a doubt I would this book a 10.
She couldn't bear to see those kids like that. But Graymoss is protected. It tells about the house. At first she wanted her mom to believe in ghosts. But when she went to the orphanage she changed her mind completely. So Lia has to go to the house and convince her mom that it is haunted, but her mom doesn't believe her. Her mother decides she is going to move in and adopt unadoptable children.
She says there is no such thing as ghosts. Lia reads her great great great grandmother's diary. Lia's great grandmother tells Lia to keep Graymoss protected. It keeps spirits from hurting her. She goes to the house with Joshua(a boy she meets)and he leaves because he is scared of the ghosts. She didn't want to share her parents with a bunch of noisy kids. She goes to the house. She doesn't find any.

The beginning isnt that great, but it gets way better. I would recomend this book for any age.
This book was not up to the reading standards of the Book Bandits teen bookclub in Meridian, Idaho. There was no empathy between readers and the characters, the plot was totally predictable, the characters were not developed fully, and the entire story did not capture the attention of the readers. The cover art wasn't very compelling either. The group suggests that you read Sherlock Holmes and Nancy Drew stories as a mystery alternative.
Do you love suspense. A young Katherin has to move into a deceased aunts house. The type of suspense that leaves you bitting your nails. Then you'll love Joan Lowery Nixon's "The Haunting".This might be the best book I have read this past summer. The haunting history about the house has Katherin on a perilous journey to find the truth and help her family from harm. I strongly recommend anybody who loves suspense and mystery to read this book.
