It’s 1967 and Mary’s family has moved into a huge Victorian mansion. She loves her gigantic new house, especially her room. But then she begins to meet the house’s other residents. Mrs. Murray was murdered in Mary’s new house. At first she tries to scare the new residents away, but there seems to be a force connecting the ghost to Mary. Even the stranded Brownies, the little people who live between the walls, feel that connection. When Mary becomes deathly ill, the Brownies and the ghost team up to try to rescue her, only to encounter a witch and her evil dragons and minions. Time is running out. They must rescue Mary from a fever-induced dream world before she is trapped there forever.

Summary
This first book in its series is a great middle school read complete with mystery, humor, drama, brownies, witches, dragons and ghosts. The plot is easy enough for a young reader to follow and intriguing enough to keep an adult’s attention. My only disappointment was the use of one curse word. I am looking forward to reading this to my granddaughter this summer.
