  • The Moonlight Man

    Betty Ren Wright

    Paperback (Scholastic Inc., March 15, 2000)
    Fiction: Jenny Joslin has just moved into the neighborhood on Crescent Lane. It's the latest in a string of addresses her father has moved her and her younger sister, Allie, in the short time since their mother died. Jenny hopes this is the last one. She likes this new place, and so does Allie, so they're very careful not to give their father even the slightest excuse to relocate again. But that's not going to be easy when the ghost appears -- a misty apparition of a young man and his dog, who stalk the back yard and walk around in the attic. A picture appears and disappears from Allie's bedroom wall. A red convertible rumbles down the curving road at breakneck speeds. The elderly, cranky neighbors, the Carpeks, begin to become terrorized by apparitions of death and damaging poltergeist activity. And in the house next door, the neighbors hear a woman crying in the basement.
