The Girl in the Locked Room: A Ghost Story

I absolutely LOVE Mary Downing Hahn. Her ghost stories have always been so amazingly spooky. From the second you start reading one of her Ghost Stories, you are hooked....as in, you simply cannot put the down until you are done.“The Girl in the Locked Room” is absolutely nothing like Hahn’s previous ghost stories. I was truly disappointed in this book. Compared to her others, it fails miserably. While reading this book, I couldn’t help but think an assistant or even a teenager wrote it, but certainly not Mary Hahn.I’m not sure what happened, but it’s difficult to believe “The Girl in the Locked Room” comes from the author who wrote “The Old Willis Place”, “Deep, Dark and Dangerous” or “All the Lovely Bad Ones.”

I enjoyed the details Of scenes and characters that brought me into the story. I can relate to the idea of being watched, or thinking someone is watching me from a window. It helped with the creepy vibe. But Lily turns out to be a nice ghost, so this is an easy and not quite so scary read. Though, there are things that are dreadful, they aren't brought up consistently, mostly near the end. Oh, and the men that come in the night on horses...YIKES! Didn't everyone worry as a child that someone would come get them from their rooms? I think Mary Downing Hahn might've struck a nerve with this part of the story that many can relate to.

My daughter loves this book. Good for middle schoolers

While this ghost story isn't quite in the same league as some of MDH's more famous ghost story's (The Old Willis Place), it still a good old fashion ghost story, and that is what MDH does best. It’s a bit of a slow start, but an unusual ending pulls it through.

I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book. The writing and grammar were excellent.Very rarely do I complete reading a book without finding faults of some kind. I would say that if all her books are as well written as this one, then this author is a master at what she.The story is very good, with an ending that left me feeling content. I will look for more of her books. Well done.

I loved this book. My grandson and I read it together and we both enjoyed it and were able to talk about it... Good book that all ages would enjoy

If you haven't discovered this author yet, do it now! She is the Stephen King of youth literature. This particular story alternates between the living character's perspective and the ghost's perspective.

Amazing book very suspenseful...it was hard for me to put the book down... It kept me wonderful what was going to happen next😀The book is like Wow you will not be disappointed. I highly recommend this book. If you’re thinking about getting this book go ahead you will be happy that you did🙂

Quite a creepy book but actually a good story ending.

I loved the concept of the story .Once you start reading this book, it can't be stopped. Thats all. Read if you want

Good but a little more pricey I’ve found it cheaper somewhere else.

As expected.

Good
