IT IS SUPER GOOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!I love it

I studied the clouds dark shapes flocks of lost sheep straying across a desolate wasteland, blown to rags and tatters by the wind. Ah, yes, The Old Willis Place is a beautiful and chilling ghost story! It was a page-turner for me. Mary Downing Hahn creates a nice, slow build-up. There are secrets and rules with Diana and Georgie on the farm of Oak Hill Manor. While reading, my mind was going in several different directions anticipating the end result.Diana, the protagonist, 12 years old, lives

This is a reread because all I remember is rating this 5 stars four years ago?? and literally nothing else from this book.Listen, I love middle grade ghost stories.

We really enjoyed this story of siblings, Diana and Georgie who live in the grounds of the Old Willis Place. When another 12yr old girl moves in with her father, who is to be the new caretaker, Diana longs to make friends, but as we find out, this is one of many things that is forbidden and against the rules.We enjoyed the suspense, the scary plot and working out what had happened and what the outcome would be. We thought the descriptions of the way the children felt about (view spoiler)[ always

The story is about two children, Diana and Georgie, and must live by "The Rules Their Mind gave them."The story begins with Diana and Georgie watching the new caretaker for Oak Hill Manor, which is rumored to be haunted. They nickname the new caretaker Heron man because of his pale complexion and his long, skinny figure. Heron man has a daughter, Lissa, whom Diana would love to make friends with, although it would mean breaking "The Rules." They take Lissa's bike out for a ride at midnight.

Diana and her brother Georgie have haunted the grounds of the Willis house for almost as long as they can remember. Their parents used to work for old Mrs. Willis until the bad thing happened. When they left, Diana and Georgie had to remain behind and follow certain rules they were to remain hidden, and they were not to leave the property. Mrs. Willis eventually passed away, and her house has been looked after for many years, now, by a series of caretakers each taking less care than the last.
