Haunting in Williamsburg Book

I first read this book as a young child, during my ghost story phase. I never really grew out of that phase, and it was a favorite then.

Jayne, the present day girl, was in Williamsburg, staying at a house owned by her ancestors, a house steeped in history, and hauntings. Sally Custis, the ghost in question was still attached to the house due to guilt over something she did over a hundred years ago. Jayne then became Sally's ally, helping her discover the truth about those long ago events.

Ghost stories work well when the evolve slowly, over time. This was done very well in this book. Jayne and Sally got to know each other, and learned to listen to each other. It was that level of communication that helped Jayne the most.

The haunting elements were very well done as well. I loved the descriptions of the ghosts, and the locales that were haunted.

A wonderful juvenile ghost story, with a well writting plot, likeable engaging characters, and wonderful descriptions.
