All the Lovely Bad Ones

Travis and his sister, Corey, can't resist a good trick--so when they learn that their grandmother's sleepy Vermont inn has a history of ghost sightings, they decide to do a little haunting of their own. Scaring the guests proves to be great fun, and before long, the inn is filled with tourists and ghost hunters eager for a glimpse of the supernatural. But Travis and Corey soon find out that they aren't the only ghosts at Fox Hill Inn. Their thoughtless games have awakened something dangerous, something that should have stayed asleep. Restless, spiteful spirits swarm the inn, while a dark and terrifying presence stalks the halls and the old oak grove on the inn's grounds. To lay the ghosts to rest, Travis and Corey must first discover the dark history of Fox Hill and the horrors visited on its inhabitants years earlier.

  4. This book has been a spin tingling adventure! I've not read the whole book yet but just the first couple pages have been amazing. This story on Travis and his little sister Corey is a mysterious,edge of your seat, kind of story.

  7. Travis and Corey have just arrived at an inn and suppossedly it's haunted. Their grandmother doesn't believe in the ghosts that have lived there since the early 70's.Travis and Corey don't think that the inn is that interesting until they arrive.The summer camp they attended last year was horrible and they're trying to have a better summer.

  8. So far the book is really good. It is where these two kids go and vist there grandma. There grandma is a owner of a inn. People who has been there they say that the inn is haunted. There grandma let them see a book on the history of the inn. Hope when you read it that you think that is good.

  9. Cory and Travis have just arrived at their grandmothers inn and found out all the cool stuff they can do this summer.Instead of going to boring old summer camp, waking up early, and whistles being blown in their ears.Now they come to find the inn has been haunted since the 70's ,but their grandmother says that the ghost story is nonsense.

    1. I think this book was cool. I was so jealous when Grandma told Corey and Travis all the stuff they could do.

  10. If your love scary, edge of your seat storys this is a fantastic book for you. It's like a horror film you know whats going to happen,then right before it does it changes around to where you are clueless about its next move.So you just keep on reading an youll be surprised how it turns out

  16. I don't usually go for this scary haunted stuff, but it was recommended by a friend. I'm so glad that she did, because this is a super good book! This is the only kind of scary book I've read, but it's a really good twist on a classic haunted house story.
