Books with title Ghost Next Door

See, what happened was, our lives were going really well. My mom got a promotion, I enrolled in an A-list school, and then my Dad had this great idea to start an empire. But now he's "gone to the country." What does that even mean? Is it the same place they take old, sick dogs? Has he joined a cult? It's been two months now, and I still don't know what it means. Declan, the boy next door, says that my dad's in a hospital, but everyone's dying as far as Declan is concerned. Now there are strange people living in our spare rooms, and all my stuff is on the lawn. I've tried to raise it with my mom, but she talks to me as if I am a four-year-old—when she talks to me at all, which is less and less lately. Hello! Can somebody please tell me what's going on?

Not illustrated. 1886 edition. Excerpt: ...It really grieved me to think she had not been born into, and fitted to fill, a higher station. She has every natural advantage." "She is fitted to fill any station," blurted out Ray, terribly nettled. "So is her sister." "My dear," observed his grandmother, compassionately, "you are very young." "I suppose I am," cried Ray, rising in a passion; "but young as I am, I--" He was about boldly declaring then and there his love for Margery Standish, and his determination not to listen to a word in disfavor of her or any of her belongings; but at the critical moment he met the steady gaze of a pair of deep gray eyes above the lowered newspaper, and for a second he paused. "Mother, it naturally annoys Ray to have you set bis judgment at naught. He knows these young ladies and you do not." "At least he knows them better than I do," assented Mrs. Exton, apparently unconscious of having aroused any deep feeling, and immediately reverting to the idea of her own benefit, with the selfishness of her invalided condition. She turned again to her grandson, who was manfully mastering his agitation. "I have taken a great fancy to Miss Standish," she said. "In fact, I am anxious to engage her for a companion.
