Jane-Emily
Jane-Emily | Patricia Clapp
3 posts | 6 read | 5 to read
Emily was a selfish, willful, hateful child who died before her thirteenth birthday. But that was a long time ago. Jane is nine years old and an orphan when she and her young Aunt Louisa come to spend the summer at Jane's grandmother's house, a large, mysterious mansion in Massachusetts. Then one day . . . Jane stares into a reflecting ball in the garden—and the face that looks back at her is not her own. Many years earlier, a child of rage and malevolence lived in this place. And she never left. Now Emily has dark plans for little Jane—a blood-chilling purpose that Louisa, just a girl herself, must battle with all her heart, soul, and spirit . . . or she will lose her innocent, helpless niece forever. One of the most adored ghost stories of all time is available again after thirty years—to thrill and chill a new generation!

Thank you, @rubyslippersreads ! Jane-Emily looks creepy with this retro cover! And I just love the old library 'scary stuff' spine label too 👻
And you continue to torment me with adorable space cats/kittens 😆

rubyslippersreads Hope you don't get *too*scared. 😱 And I couldn't resist the Space Cat notebook. 😸 7y

I'm very tired out from work but I was compelled to finish this story. Interestingly part of the story takes place on July 4th. It's a good ghost story and not to particularly scary, so older children might enjoy having it read to them.

LeahBergen Ha! I just posted a pic of this book (with a different cover) a while ago. It was a childhood favourite of mine. 8y

TBT to another childhood fave. Who read this one?

Sue I haven't read this, but the title reminds me of the Milly-Molly-Mandy books that I remember devouring as a child. Haven't thought of those for years. 8y
