(3) 1-3 Stepping Stone series. Illustrated by Leonid Gore. Emily discovers that she can travel into the walls of a little playhouse to meet a child who died long ago. This short ghost story is tightly plotted and just eerie enough for independent readers who want to be spooked but don't want to have nightmares. The fantastical elements are easy to follow, the characters are engaging, and the ending is satisfying.
