Summary: Shy, nine-year-old Abby surprises herself, her equally timid babysitter, and her older brother when they are haunted by a ghost that is trying to reclaim a stolen music box.

Review: This ghost story is right up my alley. Not too scary but still edge-of-your-seat good. Abby is facing a summer with no best friend and a brother who just sees her as a nuisance. But when her parents decide to get a babysitter for the summer, things start to look up. When 18-year-old sitter Hannah arrives, Abby gives her a music box. Abby notices that Hannah seems afraid of it and everything else. Hannah soon tells Abby about the ghost of a little girl showing up when the music box is playing. Soon the brother starts to play tricks on Hannah just to spook her. Eventually, the girls decide to investigate. As they learn about the ghost girl they’re seeing, they realize maybe they could help her rest peacefully. In the end, you find out sometimes the most courageous person is the last one you’d expect.
