A not too scary, scary book

I really liked this book, and recommend it for ages 6 and above. It was a little scary but I think ages 6 and above would love it. I sure did! It was the best book ever. I love how Liza, Bill, and Jed worked together to solve the mystery. I also read The Key to the Treasure and that was a very good book too. I can't wait until I read another one. I love Peggy Parish books they're soooo good. I love them!!!!!!

Great fun for kids who love solving mysteries!

I read this book when I was in grade school. I am now a mother of four children, the oldest is 9 and the youngest is 9 months. I have been looking for this book for a couple of years off and on so I could read it to my children. I loved reading this book as a child and want to share that experience with my children. I know they will love this story as well, and it will give me a chance to spend some good quality time with them as they learn to love to read. This book started my interest in mystery solving novels. It was very popular in my school and on high demand. I checked out of my school library several times to re-read it when I could. I LOVED IT!!

This was the book that initiated my love for reading.

This was the book that initiated my love for reading. As a fourth grader, I was drawn to the title as well as to its apparent 'novel-like' format relative to the slimmer picture books that were on the lower grade shelves in the school library. For the first time, I found myself being pulled into a storyline, so absorbed by the mystery that unfolds that I couldn't put the book down. (I think that it took me two or three days to finish as a nine-year-old, and I found myself re-reading it until I could recite dialogue: "Home," shouted Jed. "Milk and Cookies," shouted Bill. Liza ran to the front door....) I also remember being impressed by how well the family got along, including the three sibling protagonists. I highly recommend this book as a starter 'novel' for young children who are prone to becoming avid readers. Follow-up with the more complex Hardy Boys/Nancy Drew mysteries, the Chronicles of Narnia, Robertson's "Henry Reed" series, and M. L'Engles "Time Quartet" (A Wrinkle in Time.)

My childhood favorite!

As a child, I read this book from front to back countless times. I loved this book! Haunted House is perfect for young readers. The end result is the love of reading and the fueling of a young mind's imagination. Get this book for a young reader and you've given them a book that is my most cherished childhood story!

Easy reading for an advanced 4th or 5th grader

Excellent book for a parent's child who may be faced with moving to another town or state. The children in the book were hesitant at first about moving to a potential haunted house, but they looked for positive ways to cope with the situation. In one instance, with their father's permission, they thought about building a tree-house out of old wood from the barn. The children in the book also found and picked up clues along the storyline that was originally set up by their father via the children's former next door friends. This makes the story interesting with many thoughts about ghosts because they did not know who or what were writing the clues until the very end of the story.
