Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
The author of wildly popular ghost stories, Mary Downing Hahn has created a group of tales for fans of her "scary but not too scary" books. Even the stories without actual ghosts are spooky. Each tale turns something ordinary--a pigeon, a white dress, a stranger on the bus, a puppet--into a sinister link to the supernatural. For the human characters, secrets from the past or careless behavior in the present can lead to serious trouble. All the stories have a young person as the central character, so all will resonate with young readers who enjoy the eerie, the creepy, and the otherworldly. In a concluding note, the author talks about how she came to write ghost stories.
"Some stories were published previously in slightly different forms."--Title page verso.
The number seven bus -- 213 Poplar Street -- The grounding of Theresa -- The real thing -- Trouble afoot -- The puppet's payback -- The new girl -- The little blue jacket -- The last house on Crescent Road -- The thirteenth pigeon -- Afterword: What makes me write ghost stories?
From ghost story master Mary Downing Hahn, an assortment of eerie short stories to thrill and chill young readers.
