Wait Till Helen Comes

Wait Till Helen Comes by Mary Downing Hahn (HarperCollins, 1987)


Wait Till Helen Comes by Mary Downing Hahn is a ghost story about two kids and their mom who move in with their new stepdad and his daughter, Heather. Michael and Molly detest Heater, and she detests them. Heather loves trying to get Molly and Michael in trouble, and twists the truth without telling a white lie. Heather is determined to get revenge on them for their mom marrying her dad when they move into the old church that will become their home. Heather finds an old tombstone separate from the others, and soon seemingly finds the ghost of Helen. Heather then taunts Molly and Michael that Helen will come and make their lives unhappy. Soon strange things happen, and the blame goes to Molly and Michael. Molly, who sees Helen but no one believes her, must save Heather and form a bond to pull the family together. This book was excellent. The details and description were amazing, and the spookiness of it all really pulled it all together. I would definitely recommend it.
