(2) YA Lia's mother inherits the family's antebellum plantation and plans to make it a foster home for handicapped children. The house is supposedly haunted, and the very thought of a malevolent ghost overwhelms Lia, who feels like a wimp. Typical of Nixon's popular gothics, this title has it all--a hint of romance, some really scary scenes, and a plucky heroine who successfully routs both outer and inner demons.
