A Haunting in Williamsburg

Author: Lou Kassem
Type: Juvenile
First Published: 1990
Pages: 104
Week: 13

This is the story of a girl of 13, Jayne, who has to go visit her aunt in Williamsburg for the summer. Her parents are teachers and have a special conference they have to attend overseas. While there, she encounters a ghost who wants her help in finding out what happened to her brother and a man she loved during the Revolutionary War. With research and a young man she meets, Peter, she has a memorable summer.
The book was a good story. The ghost part of the story was very little compared to her friendship with the boy Peter. Through both Peter and the ghost, Saly, Jane learns a lot about her self and her parents.
