Ollie, Coco and Brian are
three best friends who have survived weird happenings in the past, so when they
end up at a ski lodge with Ollie’s dad and Coco’s mom, they aren’t surprised
it’s haunted. As Ollie and her friends
start to see and hear things in the lodge it becomes clear that the hotel used
to be an orphanage for girls and the headmistress is very mean. When a reporter, Mr. Voland, shows up he
starts to ghost hunt with the kids and things spookier.
What a fun creepy story. I like Arden’s ability to write a clean,
spooky story without going overboard.
This setting was as much fun as her first book, Small Spaces, and the
characters are endearing. The violence
is children who are locked in closets for misbehaving.
