I always liked the Richard Peck books. There were two books that involved ghosts; the second one had a girl who was a medium seeing the dead from the Titanic, IIRC. I'll have to look that one up for its title--it was really excellent!

Literary Buffistas 3: Don't Parse the Blurb, Dear.
There's more to life than watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer! No. Really, there is! Honestly! Here's a place for Buffistas to come and discuss what it is they're reading, their favorite authors and poets. "Geez. Crack a book sometime."

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
Sideways Stories from Wayside School. The Great Brain. Matilda. Anastasia Krupnik. Nate the Great. No Flying in the House. Mrs. Frisby and the Rats of NIMH. I guess she's still a little young for From the Mixed-Up Files of Mrs. Basil E. Frankweiler.

Because books.
Oh, that's Ghosts I Have Been, I think, Kathy! I loved that. Richard Peck and John Neufeld were huge staples for me.

Is she too young for Edward Eager, Sox? Because I really enjoyed them, and I think if she likes Narnia, she'll like those, too.

Ghosts I Have Been
Yes! Such a good book. It was spun off from The Ghost Belonged to Me, which is also excellent.

Elizabeth Enright! Gone-Away Lake! The Melanies! The Four Story Mistake!
Though I'm not sure of the proper age group on those.

Ooh, I loved Elizabeth Enright, though got a bit confused over some of the old-fashioned terminology. Also loved Edward Eager. And E Nesbit!!
