When twelve-year-old Florence boards the crowded horse-drawn coach in London, she looks forward to a new life with her great uncle and aunt at Crutchfield Hall, an old manor house in the English countryside.

Have you ever wanted to explore a haunted house? Of course I think you know what kind of genre this book is already, mystery and fantasy. Overall i think this is an interisting story. This book is taken place in an old creepy mansion that is also known as Crutchfield Hall. This book all started of as orphan named Florence transitioning from an orphanage to a mansion. Finding out that her cousin was sick and she couldnt even interact with him was a big dissapoitment for her, she had no idea whyThis is a classic ghost story about a young orphan Florence who struggles to transition from an orphanage in the city, to a large house in the country. The house is owned by her great aunt and uncle. Her uncle is overjoyed to have a new member of the family and treats her with kindness. Her aunt still cries about Sophia's death and is always comparing Florence to Sofia. The last member of the house is a young boy by the name of James. He is Florance's cousin and is very sick. He has never left
I actually wanted to give this one 3 1/2 stars. I enjoyed the setting of the story and the characters more than the plot itself. Florence Crutchfield arrives at her uncle's house from the orphanage where she has lived for the past 7 years to find an aunt who doesn't want her there, a sickly, bed-ridden cousin, and the mean, vengeful ghost of her cousin Sophia, who is out to harm her sickly brother James. I have a few problems with the story. First, once Florence arrives she seems to go for days
I really enjoyed this story, it focuses on Florence who thinks she has no family until one day out of the blue she gets invited to stay with her uncle. She goes to Crutchfield Hall full of excitment, in the hope that her cousin James will be a play partner, someone she can go exploring the countryside with. Instead she finds his dead sisters ghost, Sophia, Sophia wants revenge. She believes James killed her and wants to get her own back and make him suffer or worse. It is up to Florence to try
I have mixed feelings about the book because although I enjoyed it and I think that my students will definitely enjoy it, the beginning was a slow start, and I felt the book did not end in the right spot. The book has an interesting twist considering that it takes place in the late 1800's. It picks up pace by page 35 and truly kept me turning the pages to find out what happens, but then when the climax happens it's semi anti-climactic and predictable. I'm also a firm believer that the end should
The Ghost of Crutchfield Hall is a short haunting story, that reminded me a little bit of Northanger Abbey. The dark road to the house and the exterior of it had a familiar touch which I adored. Florence is a young girl who lives in a orphanage, but one day out of the blue shes going to live with her great uncle and aunt at Crutchfield Hall. At Crutchfield Hall she finds out that she isnt allowed to see her cousin James and feels that someone is haunting the place. Its up to Florence to stop the
Check out my other reviews, discussions and link ups at Fantasy of the Silver Dragon.This was a fairly quick read, though not up to the usual scary standards I've come to expect from this author. There was a bit of suspense, but it never got to even slightly creepy. All the workers at the Hall seemed to know Sophia's ghost was haunting them, and had been a wicked child. But Florence's Aunt and Uncle had no idea.Florence's Aunt hated her on sight, and believed the worst about her. While at the
