The Secret of Goldenrod

(3) 4-6 Trina and her handyman father move to rural Iowa for Poppo to restore Goldenrod, a formerly grand mansion now in disrepair and rumored to be haunted. With the help of an extraordinary doll, small-town gossip, and the house itself, Trina discovers Goldenrod's secret. This multilayered novel is a solid ghost story but also a tale of fitting in, growing up, and finding one's place.
