Chloe Wendleton loses her parents in a tragic plane crash when she was 5. She now lives with her Grandfather, the housekeeper and her beloved pets. Chloe finds it a little hard to adjust to her new surroundings. On most accounts,she is a normal 10 year old girl, except that she sees and hears things that no adult can. She is sure that her house is haunted. The ghosts of 2 children keep appearing to her but since no adult can see them, she is afraid to tell anyone. One day while going through some old newspapers, she finds an article about Sarah Jane and her brother Thomas Van Hise who vanished from their home 50 years ago. Chloe is heartbroken, she is now more determined than ever to find out what happened to the children. She devises a show more plan to enlist the help of her pets and her friends from school, Maya and Will. Together they embark on an courageous adventure that i'm sure they will never forget....if they live through it!!

I really enjoyed this book. Packed with mystery and action and written so that it can be enjoyed by all ages. I love the way the author incorporates the pets' point of view into the story, that's something you dont see often. The characters were strong and believeable and the story was very entertaining and well written.
I finished the book in one sitting and i honestly dont believe there was even one dull moment. I recommend this book to all and I can't wait for the next one.
