![]() This is an excellent, spooky ghost story for children. Ghostly Fizz believes that Alice is the ghost-could it be true? Did Alice die on the train? Or are she and Fizz in some kind of weird, dollhouse dreamworld? When Alice discovers a dollhouse that is a near-perfect reconstruction of the old house, and that when she makes changes in the dollhouse, the same changes happen in the real house, she can’t decide if she is dreaming, if her imagination is causing real things to happen, or if this is all because of her head injury. One night, Alice meets Fizz, the ghost of a girl who lived in the house in the 1920s. ![]() Lily, the housekeeper’s daughter who is a teenager but acts like a young child, becomes a friend and confidant for Alice. The old house is both enormous and creepy. While journeying to their new home, the train stops abruptly, and Alice suffers a concussion. She accepts a live-in nursing job to care for an elderly woman in a creepy old house, where 12-year-old Alice can live too. ![]() When Alice’s father once again says he cannot be with the family because of work, Alice’s mother says she is leaving him. ![]()
