Olive and the Backstage Ghost

(4) 4-6 Set in an unnamed city experiencing economic hardships, Olive escapes her controlling stage mother to star in a magical show at an old theater filled with ghosts. Although many readers may find the ending predictable, there's satisfaction in the well-paced suspense as the plot hurtles toward a potentially fatal opening night. Near-death escapes and evil ghosts keep this story in the just-a-tad-scary realm.
