Summary: A thrilling mystery. It sucked me in!
Review: An amazing book. It is about two girls, and they find a beautiful doll in a garden.
Then one of the girls gets sick, and the other has to find out what this crazy doll is doing,
because both girls start getting flashbacks and memories from a different time.
Finally the well one figures out that someone knows more than they are telling, and saves the other's life.
This was a great book. I re-read it many times!
It sucked me in. I couldn't but the book down!
I was amazed, stupified, overcome with pity, and finally relieved while under the magic spell it had put me in
My friends and I all agree that this is a book that you should deffinately buy!
I'm Kari, and I'm only 11, but I know what I like!

Summary: The best book in the world
Review: Another well-crafted ghost story from Mary Downing Hahn, this book follows the adventures of Ashley, who moves into a rented appartment and starts exploring the overgrown garden. She comes across a doll, long buried, and sets out to discover why it is there, and what the mysterious cries that she hears at night are. Not a scary ghost story, it is very moving and I found myself crying at a few spaces. It might be a little cliche for an adult reader, but it is a great read for a younger reader who is interested in ghost stories.

Summary: Doll in the Garden: A Ghost Story
Review: I am nine years old and this is the first Mary Downing Hahn book I have read. It is one of my favorite books written by her. The story is about a girl and her mom renting a home where an old lady lives. The girl goes in the backyard garden and finds a treasure box. Inside is an old doll....and that's where the mystery begins.

Summary: A Great Kids Book!
Review: I first read this story when I was about 10 years old and fell in love with it. Everytime I went to the library, I would check it out. Now that I'm almost 19, seeing the cover picture again and reading the wonderful, vivid story once again has really brought me back to the time I was 10 and how amazing this book was to me. At any rate, it's a great book for children just starting to read discriptive, more difficult text. I would highly recommend it.

Summary: Entertaining but forgettable
Review: I love this author, and I went through a phase several years ago where I read as many of her books as I cound find. This is a good book - certainly you'll be entertained and will enjoy it - but it didn't capture my interest and imagination like some of her other works, like The Jellyfish Season and Wait Till Helen Comes did. I highly recommend those to anybody who liked this book. Something about this book, especially reading it now as an adult, is a little less real and a little more juvenile than some of her other works.
