11-year-old David and his three younger siblings have just moved into the Westerly House, which was built over 70 years ago. They also have a new step-sister named Amanda who is interested in the occult, and it is not long before they start believing the old house is haunted. Kids who are interested in magic, ghosts, and witchcraft will like this book because there is plenty of gothic atmoshpere here, what with the seance and initiation into the spiritual world that Amanda performs, not to mention the obnoxious poltergeist's scary antics.
This book was a Newbery Honor Book in 1972 -- realistic fiction with a generous dose of kid-sized horror thrown in to add spice.
