A book that has always haunted me.
Published by Kt , 3 years ago
I grew up in the '70s. I have no idea who bought me this book, but I've read it over and over as a child. Now as an adult, I need to read it again! It's a book that has haunted me for years and has affected me very much.

The Ghost Next Door is an unforgetable tale about a girl named Sherry who goes for a first time visit to her Aunt Judith's house. Behind Aunt Judith's house is a pond in which Sherry's half sister Miranda drown. Sherry was never told about Miranda. However, while visiting her Aunt Judith, Sherry develops a friendship with a girl that has a lot in common with Miranda. No one ever seems to see this new friend when she comes to play. Perhaps they just keep missing her, perhaps she's just an imaginary friend, or perhaps this new friend is the ghost of Miranda.It truly is a shame that this book is out of print and hard to find. If you happen across a used copy at a reasonable price, I recommend you purchase it. I read this book when I was around 12 and enjoyed it so much that years later I purchased a used copy online when my daughter was old enough for me to read it to her.
She never passed this way again.

With the beginning of the 70s, Wylly Folk St. John's "children's" books started to get better and better. This book is perhaps the second best book she's ever written--second only to the wonderful "Mystery Book Mystery". St. John has always done a superb job at establishing setting, and this time she outdoes herself; the neighberhood that this story centers around is forever grained in my memory. Most of St. John's work, while having some element of the supernatural, tends to be grounded in the real. For once, St. John leaves the question wide open. Was the ghost real, or was it a hoax? There are clues pointing either way, and the readers is left to decide for themselves.
