About this ebook

A suspenseful story of unexpected connections between present and past. Ashely and her mother need their new apartment to work out, but everything Ashely does seems to upset the irritable and unforgiving landlady. When Ashley makes friends with the girl next door, Kristi, they uncover a wooden box containing a well-loved turn-of-the-century doll. Ashley wants to keep the doll for herself, but Kristi has other ideas. So does the doll's original owner, a girl who died decades ago, but whom Ashley meets when she follows a mysterious white cat through a hedge. Can Ashley bring peace to the girl and resolve her own present-day challenges?

I've read a few books by Mary Downing Hahn and really think is the best! I've always been a fan on supernatural/paranormal stories like this. It captured my attention and kept me wondering what was going to happen the whole time and was left with just a hint of sadness and happiness at the same time when I got to the end.

I remember reading this book in Intermediate school because it was my first ghost story. I recommend this book if you want to start off a bit slow and work yourself up to major thrillers. This book had me hooked!
