(2) 4-6 Illustrated by Kevin Hawkes. Ibbotson's novel serves up just the right blend of coziness and chills, of whimsy and wickedness, as it documents how two very different ghost families find their way to Helton Hall, via the Dial-a-Ghost Adoption Agency. This clever fantasy is a good choice for readers who enjoy the wit, gothic atmosphere, and over-the-top pessimism of Lemony Snicket's series but still want everything to turn out all right in the end.
