Summary

Gossamer House is heaving with ghosts but that's not all its hiding
Leslie Sanstrom gets a creepy vibe when she arrives at Gossamer House for the Castillo d'art summer program. The spiky roof gables, looming clock tower and deathly-grey exterior make her spine tingle.
The strangeness doesn't end there. She finds a hidden room full of famous paintings, missing since WWII, and overhears the camp manager plotting to steal the entire collection.
When she teams up with fellow camper Nick and resident ghosts to thwart the devious heist, things take a dangerous turn. Leslie discovers Gossamer's secrets are more sinister than she had ever imagined.

Scott’s younger sister spends all of her time trying to frighten them. She’ll do whatever it takes to get them to scream. Scott and Amanda are also tormented by some neighborhood kids. But this Halloween, Scott and Amanda are determined to conquer their fears, even if that means spending time in the creepy old house that everyone else says is haunted. And if Scott and Amanda can stop being so afraid, maybe they can even finally get some revenge. Unless the house really is haunted . . .
