(3) 4-6 This third book in the series opens with ten-year-old Jackson taking a clipping of a special rose that grows in the cemetery. Roses have always meant bad luck for Jackson, and his "doom-and-gloom" friend Reuben thinks a ghost is haunting him. The story is suspenseful without being too scary, and the satisfying ending doesn't try to overexplain the curse.
