Tartan Magic series.
When American twins Jennifer and Peter sneak into a Scottish graveyard, a restless spirit takes over Peter's body. Jennifer and Gran, who both have magical powers, must find a way to call Peter back before the ghost takes over forever. A talking dog and magic horse add interest to this third--and best yet--installment in the series. The readable chapters, sprinkled with Scottish terms, contain lots of action, danger, and magic. Glos.
