One day, Molly's mother decides to buy a church out in the country, so she could work on her paintings. They had also bought a graveyard that came with the church. Heather, followed by Molly, venture into the graveyard to see who died there. All the tombstones look normal except for the one that is under a tree. On the stone, it had the initials, "H.E.H" The initials stood for Helen Elizabeth Harper but those initials were also Heather's initials. After that, Heather came to the graveyard just about everyday. She also would talk to Helen's grave, as if she were actually there. Molly hears Heather talk about Helen and asks who Helen is, and the only thing Heather said was, "Just wait Molly, wait till Helen comes. You'll be sorry then for all the things you've done to me.". Molly was completely frightened. Molly and Michael then go into town to see if they could find any information about Helen. They learned that not too far from the church, there was a house on a hill that Helen, her mom, and her stepdad lived in. The house caught on fire, killing Helen's mother and stepfather. Helen escaped, but not too far from the house there was a pond full of weeds. That's where Helen fell into the pond and drowned. I would recommend this book for young adults who like mysteries and ghost stories. This video is a trailer that someone made based on the book, "Wait Till Helen Comes". I hope you enjoy it!

Wait for Helen
Last trimester, I read a book called, "Wait Till Helen Comes" by Mary Downing Hahn. It's about a twelve year old girl named Molly and her seven year old stepsister, Heather. Molly also has a ten year old brother named Michael. Heather will not get along with Molly, Michael, and her new mother. She didn't want a new family, she just wanted her birth mother. Sadly, her birth mother died in a fire when Heather was younger. Whenever Heather is asked a question from her new family, she will answer. End of conversation. The parents on the other hand, try their best to keep the family together. So Molly tries to be nice to Heather, and Heather tries to stay away from Molly. Heather also wants to get Molly in trouble whenever she has the chance.
One day, Molly's mother decides to buy a church out in the country, so she could work on her paintings. They had also bought a graveyard that came with the church. Heather, followed by Molly, venture into the graveyard to see who died there. All the tombstones look normal except for the one that is under a tree.

You told me about this book, and I still find it creepy as all get out. Why is Heather talking to dead people? Is she a necromancer? Does she see dead people? Does she have magical "talking to dead people" powers? Did some silly, silly person give her a Ouiji board? (I may have spelled that wrong.) And why on earth does she think that Molly did something to her?
ReplyDeleteThis book sound good, yet really creepy. I don't usually like ghost stories since I get creeped out really easily. But that was a good summary of the book, I'm interested.
