Haunted: The Ghost on the Stairs by Chris EBoch

Eboch, Chris Haunted: The Ghost on the Stairs, 169 p. Simon & Schuster, 2009. $5.99. Jon, 13 and his sister Tania, 11, have been dragged along on a TV shot with their mother and her new husband. It has potential to be cool, except that their new step-father investigates haunted places. What’s even worse? Tania can see ghosts. She doesn’t want anyone but Jon to know, so he has to figure out how to protect his sister, not only from the scrutiny of all of the adults around them, but also from the supernatural, which he can’t even see. I enjoyed this little ghost story with its likable main characters and only slightly spooky action – thrill-wise, it’s probably akin to Mary Downing Hahn. EL – ADVISABLE. Cindy, Library-Teacher.
