A Spooky Ghost Story

When Jess's father moves the family to a ranch after the death of Jess's brother life is not easy for anyone. Jess's mother is slowly losing his mind and Jess is being forced into a world she wants nothign to do with. But when she hears her mother speaking to someone in her room in the night time, she's convinced that she's gone crazy. But as Jess digs into the past and finds an old journal she learns that her mother's Ghost is real, but not in the way she thinks.I was impressed with this book. The first couple chapters are a bit slow but once you get past that you realize that it's an amazing book. It's written in two parts, one from Jess's world and another as Ian's journal. If you've read any other one of Margaret Buffie's books or just love a good ghost story this book is for you. I highly reccomend it.

My Mothers Ghost

After the death of her little brother, Jess moves to a ranch with her parents. She meets Percy, the old ranch hand and his wife, Winny; and Ben, Percy's young, handsome but shy helper. But she also meets the ghosts of Ian and his mother. What do they want? The supernatural, twisted with family issues and even some romance, makes this book a good read any time, anywhere, for anyone. Another excellent story by Margaret Buffie.

An exciting, gripping tale, perfect for golden summer nights

When sixteen-year-old Jessie Locke's little nine-year-old brother, Scotty dies after drowning in a pool, her RCMP father Rick moves her and her mother, Jeannie to Double Oak Ranch. But all's not well. Jeannie is coping with grief and depression at the loss of her son, Rick tries to turn the ranch into a successful business and Jessie tries to help her emotional mother who is convinced she's seeing the ghost of her dead son. This story is really exciting and mysterious as Jessie uncovers the secret of the tombstone on the hills and about her mother's ghost.
