Crandalls' Castle
3 CD Set (see all formats)

"Betty Ren Wright's creepy tale (Holiday House, 2003) is narrated by Carol Jordan Stewart in the alternating viewpoints of Charli and Sophia. Orphaned 14-year-old Sophia has just arrived to stay with the Crandall family. Her precognitive flashes have caused plenty of trouble in the past, so although she foresees great danger in Will Crandall's plan to turn the mansion on the outskirts of town into a bed and breakfast, she keeps quiet. Twelve-year-old Charli is adjusting not only to her new stepfather, but also to Sophia taking the place in the Crandall's lives that Charli formerly filled. When she first heard her uncle bought the supposedly haunted mansion, she was excited at the possibility of ghosts. The reality of seeing shadows move on their own and hearing unseen voices while working to make the house habitable is something altogether different. Sophia and Charli must overcome their differences and work together in order to avert disaster."
