Kelila I remember reading and doing a book report on this book when I was younger, but can't seem to find the title.
A young girl is the main character. The family may have recently moved to Ireland. They have a creepy cellar in their new house which contains clues to why there is a ghost haunting the girl. She works to put the ghost to rest. I think the cover may have had a grassy field and stone wall on it...
Does anyone recognize this?

Time period the story is set?


Kelila I read it probably like 10-12 years ago. The book was set in present day-ish. I'm guessing 90s?

The House on Parchment Street by Patricia A. McKillip?

Kelila, was it definitely Ireland - or possibly England, Scotland or Wales?
Can you tell us more about the ghost (e.g., gender, age, background)?

Tab (tabbrown) | 5084 comments A few guesses (not necessarily located in Ireland)

Kelila Yay! It was In the Stone Circle. I guess it was Wales, not Ireland. Thanks for your help!
