Review:
My 8 year old son has just finished this book. What a fabulous book and one that my son just couldn't put down and we had to force him to close the book. He had to read this book out loud so my husband and I were privy to it as well. I can safely say we all love this book.

This story is about two friends who terrorise the neighbourhood with scary antics. They would dress up in scary costumes and go around the neighbour scaring people at night. They were both obsessed with ghosts and love going up to Hill House. Hill house sits on a big hill and it was old and was a tourist attraction showing people around and telling ghost stories at night. The story surrounds the Hill house having a 13 year old ghost without a head. Both characters decided to see for themselves if there really is a headless ghost and go late at night to the Hill house and come head to head with their ghost.

It is a fabulous story and is really scary. All chapters end with an intriguing storyline where you just couldn't put the book down.

Great story – 4 out of 5
