Product Description
For fifty years, ten year old Susie has waited for her parents and sister to come back. Each new family that moves into her home seems not to notice her, except for the young children. Susie likes children. She even likes baby-sitting, but can she baby-sit forever? And why can't she get anyone else's attention? Charlotte is looking forward to a great summer in her new home, despite many baby-sitting duties. Her own bedroom, a nearby pool, a friendly neighbor, a big Fouth of July block party coming up-everything about the new house is terrific. And strangely her little
brother, who is usually such a handful, suddenly becomes easier to manage. Is someone else helping Charlotte watch Brandon? Someone only he can see? Gradually Charlotte realizes that her all-too-normal house is haunted-by the ghost of a girl who doesn't or won't realize she's dead.

Description:
Charlotte knows she's going to have a great summer. Her family has just moved into a new home and she's eager to get comfortable with the house and the neighborhood. She doesn't even mind that she has to baby-sit for her little brother much of the time. But as the summer moves along, Charlotte realizes she's not the only baby-sitter in the house. Slowly she discovers that the house is haunted by 10-year-old Susan, a girl who doesn't know she's dead and who has been waiting 50 years for her own family to return. In this clever and shivery (but not TOO shivery) tale, you'll see two different points of view -- one from the living world and one from the ghostly realm.
