      A fun read. I especially liked the Ghost of the Clairborne. I look like my grandfather too. I'm glad mine didn't leave me the legacy this guy's grandfather did!

    ABOUT THE AUTHOR

    Wrong Way Round Hall

    Come On, Carrie, I yelled up the stairs. I want to get going.

    Finally my sister appeared at the top of the steps. She was dressed in a fairy costume. Her wings weren’t quite straight and her dress was a bit too long, but she looked OK. I had to admit that her costume was a lot better than mine.

    There were some things I hated about being thirteen. First, your parents decided that it was up to you to pay for a lot more of the things you wanted. They also considered you old enough to start taking care of your younger sister.

    I had to admit that Carrie wasn’t all that bad. But right now she was being a pain. She walked down the stairs slowly. The whole time she was watching her reflection in the big hall mirror.

    Would you come on! I yelled.

    Why are you in such a hurry? she asked.

    Because this is my last year to go trick or treating, I answered. Mom and Dad think I’m too old. The only reason I get to go tonight is because they have that Halloween party at the Johnson’s. That means I’m taking care of you, so I get to go one last time. I want to make it count!

    I’m coming, she said. By then she had reached the bottom of the stairs. I ushered her out the door and we took off toward the hill.

    The Hill was what we called Pleasant Heights. It was a bunch of homes set on a hillside. They were some of the nicest and oldest homes in town. We figured if they were rich enough to afford fancy houses with a view, they should be rich enough to afford some decent candy. At least we were hoping so.

    And we did all right. By the time we got to the end of the street, we had gathered quite a haul. Our bags were pretty full of chocolates, jawbreakers, candy bars, and all sorts of other great stuff.

    The houses here were only on one side of the street. That way they had a nice view overlooking the city.

    When we got to the end
