About this title

From School Library Journal:

Grade 4-6 With their parents, Tracy and her younger brother, Jared, live temporarily in a historic house once owned by a carnival man. A mysterious presence in the house seems to be threatening Tracy and Jared. Against the window shade of an unoccupied room they see a dancing snake and a huge spider and web. There is school gossip about ghosts haunting the old mansion and murder in its past. The children, while investigating some of the strange happenings, stumble upon the solution to the disappearance of Vargen's nephew and a large sum of money. A solid-enough mystery, but it never becomes very scary. The living creatures in the story are among the most interesting elements: the children's writer-mother (paperback romances); Pooky, Jared's albino pet ferret; Karris, whose grandmother was a carnival fortuneteller. A supplemental mystery title for those who don't care if it's not a haunted house. Rita S. Padden, Wenatchee Public Library, Wash.
