All the Lovely Bad Ones by Mary Downing Hahn


"Travis and his sister, Corey, can't resist a good trick - so when they learn that their grandmother's sleepy Vermont inn has a history of ghost sightings, they decide to do a little "haunting" of their own. Scaring the guests proves to be great fun, and before long, the inn is filled with tourists and ghost hunters eager for a glimpse of the supernatural. But Travis and Corey soon find out that they aren't the only ghosts at Fox Hill Inn. Their throutless games have awakened something dangerous, something that should have stayed asleep. Restless, spiteful spirits swarm the inn, while a dark and terrifying presence stalks the halls and the old oak grove on the inn's grounds. To lay the ghosts to rest, Travis and Corey must first discover the dark history of Fox Hill and the horrors visited on its inhabitants years earlier."

I just read All the Lovely Bad Ones yesterday. Yup, I read it in 1 day. This isn't something that I usually do, this book is just a fast, good read. I don't usually like ghost stories, either, but I could handle this one. It's not cheesy, but it's also not nightmarishly frightening!!!
Actually, I kind of grew attached to the ghosts in the story, and was sad when they had to leave. I know, that sounds weird! Anyway, I would suggest this book to everyone - it's a great read - especially around Halloween!!!

I read this book and it's awsome! I love a good ghost story and this is just the thing. I didn't want to put it down, and I was always wondering "What's going to happen next? Why did that happen? What are they going to do?" This is a great book and I reccomend this book to anyone who likes a good scare.

This is my favorite Caudill book I've read so far. It's this year's Lightning Thief, in my humble opinion! I love ghost stories and this story certainly didn't disappoint me. I was so spooked by the poltergeists that I was seeing shapes in my bedroom shadows all night long! Travis and Corey are fun-loving pranksters that I would love to hang out with. The mystery they solve is also very interesting. This book has introduced me to a new author. I will be sure to read all the ghost stories by Mary Downing Hahn that I have on my shelves!
