The Haunting by Joan Lowery Nixon


I liked this book the premise  Lia's great grandmother on he death bed gives he plantation home to Lias mother. No one has lived there forever but it has been kept up.  She tells her to read the diary of her great great grandmother for clues.  I loved it the plantation and the story.Fifteen-year-old Lia comes from a long line of courageous women, dating back to a Civil War survivor who single-handedly saved her Louisiana plantation house, Graymoss, from destruction. But Graymoss is haunted by a terrible evil.




With clues from a diary and Favorite Tales of Edgar Allan Poe, Lia, who doesn't feel as if she's inherited any family genes of courage, must figure out what--or who--the evil wants. When Lia's parents decide to move into Graymoss, Lia isn't sure how to convince them to change their minds. But it's up to her to chase away the horror lurking inside the old house. Can she find the courage to deal with a noisy ghost who wants vengeance?
