Wright lived in Kenosha, Wisconsin, with her husband, George A. The book is very similar to another book by the same author-same idea with a benevolent ghost trying to lead inhabitants to discover murders against the will of a malevolent ghost, with a valuable secret being covered up-but the family issues were different and the story was still engaging. Betty Ren Wright (J December 31, 2013) was an American writer of childrens fiction including Christinas Ghost, The Dollhouse Murders, The Ghosts Of Mercy Manor and A Ghost in The House.

I also liked the little nod to girls not having to be girlish and Christina's uncle partially not liking her because she's a tomboy, not just because he's a grump due to the story needing a grump. The removal is because of newly required lending model changes by The Economist. I hate when adults in stories disbelieve in what they're actually seeing in the name of being supposedly rational. One thing I liked about the book was that even though her uncle doesn't believe her at first, he does start to see reason when evidence clearly points to something supernatural happening. I didn't mind the idea of friendly ghosts-and there was one of those in this book too, even though it was a little creepy because it clearly wanted something and couldn't explain-but when the protagonist, Christina, is confronted with clearly malevolent presences in her Uncle Ralph's house, I definitely felt her terror.

This was a little scary for me as a kid because I didn't like tales of unknown spooky things coming after children.
