Jane-Emily is by Patricia Clapp. I am so glad to see this fantasy book back in print after thirty years. I read this book when I was in 7th grade, more than thirty years ago. It is a classic ghost story. Fun and really creepy. Emily is a spoiled wicked little girl who died on her thirteenth birthday. Jane is a nine-year-old orphan who comes with her young Aunt Louisa to live with her grandmother (Emily's mother). Louisa begins to realize that Emily never left, and she wants Jane. A must read if you like ghost stories. A really good and satisying ending. I loved this book and still do. As a matter of fact, I still own my copy that I bought all those years ago. This book is a keeper.
Ratings: 6th grade - 10 out of 10.
