October Book Group for Kids Ages 9-12

From the library's e-newsletter:

Kids ages 9-12 are invited to discuss All the Lovely Bad Ones by Mary Downing Hahn.

Travis and his sister Corey can't resist a good trick - so when they learn that their grandmother's sleepy Vermont inn has a history of ghost sightings, they decide to do a little "haunting" of their own.  Scaring the guests proves to be great fun, and before long, the inn is filled with tourists and ghost hunters eager for a glimpse of the supernatural.  But Travis and Corey soon find out that they aren't the only ghosts at Fox Hill Inn.  Their thoughtless games have awakened something dangerous, something that should have stayed asleep.  Restless, spiteful spirits swarm the inn, while a dark and terrifying presence stalks the halls and the old oak grove on the inn's grounds.  To lay the ghosts to rest, Travis and Corey must first discover the dark history of Fox Hill and the horrors visited on its inhabitants years earlier.
