The author is a solid ghost story writer and popular with the tween segment. She is not happy when Florence moves in either.
Sophia is not a nice ghost-she wants revenge on James and blames him for her death. One other occupant roams Crutchfield Hall-Cousin Sophia, a ghost. She is so lonely-she longs to be back at the orphanage where her friends are. The only other occupants of the manor are a few servants and cousin James, a sickly, bed-ridden little boy who is not able to play with Florence. Her great-aunt Eugenie, on the other hand, is quite rude and downright cruel to Florence. Uncle Thomas is polite enough and takes great care to welcome Florence. Set in the countryside, its gloomy and forbidding exterior and Gothic appearance remind readers of the Bronte sisters' novels with their vast, wet moors and haunted mansions. Crutchfield Hall is so different from London. Finally located, Florence is finally able to escape the dismal orphanage in London to travel to her great-uncle's estate in the English countryside.
Thomas Crutchfield has been looking for his orphaned great-niece for seven years.
