4 STARSThis deals with grief of losing a parent also has a ghost in it at Halloween time. It starts right off getting into the story. Vannie, her brother Robby and father Roger are moving from their nice house into a dark cottage where were father works on the Greystone Gardens and manager.Vannie's father has a hard time with his wife gone. He is used to her being a support to him when he gets stressed and needs to be calmed down and reassured.He has a hard time remembering what he needs to do for his children. At first I did not like him. He was trying just needed to be more of a leader.Vannie was good about taking care of her brother and comforting him and she needed more from her father too at this time. She decided she was going to cook some meals. At some times she was so grown up and others she was child needing and did not want her life to change even more. Vannie has gone through so many changes.Her first evening she meets a ghost and he gives her a easy recipe to fix. It sounds good to try. The ghost wants her help.This is a fast easy entertaining read. I think middle school and older would enjoy it. There is one scene that might be scary for younger children.The ghost sure enjoys tumbling and realizes what is important and wishes he did not make the choices he made because it made his whole family sad with his passing.Everybody was trying to have a normal life and wanted to be over the grief in their own way. It was important to realize that their mom does not want them to be unhappy.Robby really opened his heart to take care of a stray cat and worried about it when they moved. Loving his cat helped him a lot also got him into trouble too.This is a clean read that anyone can enjoy.I was given this ebook to read and asked to give honest review of it and be part of the book tour.
