I think this was one of the first books I read when I was in elementary school that got me interested in reading. I could never remember the title of the book but always remembered the story of the selfish girl who had died long ago and whose evil spirit was trapped in her gazing ball in the Victorian garden. I was happy to find the reprint last year. Still a great read!

    This was one of my absolute favorite books when I was about nine years old and I have tried to remember the title for over 25 years - I stumbled across a new reprint in the bookstore today and was nearly brought to tears. I have read this book so many times and am so excited to finally read it again after all this time...
