Books with title The Ghost On the Hill

Strange things have been happening in Kylie’s new room up in the attic of her aunt’s house. Ten year old Kylie ignores it because she is busy getting used to her new life and making friends with the three boys: Albert, Steve and Sean, who live on her block in San Francisco. Until one day when Kylie sees a shadow in the fog after talking with Albert. The close friendship between the foursome continues as they return to school from summer vacation and prepare for their big Halloween night. What they experience that night will forever stay in their minds, but is their friendship strong enough to endure the haunting of the ghost?

Camille lives on one side of the hill, and Franzi lives on the other, but neither one knows that the other is there. They both love their own little houses and all of their animals, but something is missing. So one day Camille and Franzi each set off around the hill in search of someone with whom to dance, to share interesting conversations, and to tell stories at bedtime. Readers of all ages will find good company in this simple, charming tale of finding love and making room for it to grow.

As two brothers try to reunite the lonely ghosts of a farmer and a sheepdog, “readers will be cheering them on every step of the way” (Publishers Weekly). In this short-chapter winner of the IRA Children’s Choices, Peter and Martin enjoy living atop Popcorn Hill, except for two things: They long for a big dog and their cabin is haunted by a lonely ghost. They do get a frisky mutt named Rosie, but she’s not as big or as appealing as the stray sheepdog that has been roaming around outside. When the boys learn the sheepdog is a ghost, however, they devise a plan for bringing the two ghosts together. In the process, they learn to appreciate their real pet, Rosie.
