There are echoes of A Dark, Dark Wood about this tale of Lizzie who explores an old house to see if there are any ghosts. As each event occurs, two explanations are given, one in the text and one in the pictures, one matter-of-fact and one ghostly. Which is true? An interesting book with lots to talk about and discuss in both text and illustration, which work together very well. Large, clear print makes this good for young readers to share or, if confident, to read themselves.
