I think this was a nice spin on a classic ghost haunting story. I feel this would be a good book to introduce young children to horror.
I liked how it was revealed that the ghost of Celeste's great aunt was really trying to help the cousins rather than hurt them. The reveal that everything she did was to help them push through their fears was nicely done, and looking back I can see how it was set up along the way
