Rating: Summary: A book with characters and a plot that appeal to all! Review: "Wait till Helen Comes" is a book that pulls you into the story and the emotions of the characters, I first read the book when I was in fourth grade, I'm now a sophmore in High School, I can still remember the goose bumps that came to my arms and the way you would hesitate to turn the next page, but too overcome with suspense you would turn the page and read feverorishly to the next.
Rating: Summary: A classic ghost story for all ages Review: I read this book when I was very young. I still love it and I'm a junior in college. For the youger readers, read this book for the first time, you won't be dissapointed. For older readers, read this book again or for the first time as well and relive your youth.

There is a ghost named Helen that starts a threatening friendship with Heather. Heather seems to be hypnotized by Helen, thinking of her as a good true friend.

Rating: Summary: All in all this was a great book for ghost story lovers! Review: While reading this book, Wait Till Helen comes by Mary Downing Hahn, I found myself asking questions that would soon be anwsered later in the book. All in all, I truly enjoyed it. I do think it could have been a bit scarier though. It was the scariest book I ever read considering it was one of the only ones I read. I felt as if I were Molly trying to get through Heather unsuccesfully. One thing I didn't appreciate all that much was how Heather ad Helen sound so much alike. I often had to stop and ask why was Heather lureing kids into the lake, soon realizing that was Helen. I felt a little sorry for Heather and a lot sorry for Molly. My favorite character was probably Helen. Mary Downing Hahn is my favorite author and all in all, this was my favorite one of her books. I have read 3 others, none ghost stories, though.Name: unknown Age: 12 almost 13
Rating: Summary: Could've been scarier, but...... Review: READ IT ANYWAY!!!!!! Although I only give this book 3 stars, it was one of her better stories. I don't usually read ghost stories, but this book drew me to it for some reason. I think anyone who dislikes GOOSEBUMPS but likes ghost stories will enjoy this book.
Rating: Summary: Deserves MORE than five stars Review: This is my favorite book. I reccomend it to everybody and I let my friends barrow it. I read it in one day! A definite page turner!
Rating: Summary: A Very Touching and Unforgetable Story Review: What a moving and warm-loving story! I have never expected the story to be so touching. I can still remember the story very well even though I have read it twice 5 years ago. I have cried very hard from beginning till end of the story.The story would always remain in my heart.The book is a must for those with a sensitive heart. Believe me, the book is worth reading but don't forget to place a packet of tissue paper beside you while you are reading.
