Florence, at first happy to leave the orphanage, soon senses that Something Is Not Right in Crutchfield Hall. This truly scary period tale is both rousing historical fiction and ghost story. The ghost is classic Hahn--a mean little girl made meaner in death--while Florence is the kind of heroine for whom readers will stick around to be sure things turn out all right.
