THE GHOST OF WINDY HILL

by Clyde Robert Bulla ‧ RELEASE DATE: March 15, 1968

It's the people around Windy Hill who axe strange, not what happens inside, Lorna and Jamie decide toward the end of the Carvers' summer ghost-watch. But just before time to turn the house back to its owners spirit-free, something taps on the window and something makes Lorna's quilt move and something--or somebody--comes down the tower steps. . . who turns out to be Bruno, the little boy they've befriended begging at the crossroads; he just doesn't want them to leave. How Mr. Carver becomes a phantom-fighter is another story; so is Bruno's identity, his sudden agility and his brighter future. Supposedly it's 1851, which accounts for somebody taking ghosts seriously and the Bronte-brooding illustrations but doesn't excuse considerable eccentricity--a little old lady wafting around in white and Bruno's presumed father uttering dark threats besides the aforementioned. Bulla books are always easy to get into, but this one's a little hard to get down.
