This is a spooky little gem of a ghost story. I probably should have read it in October, and I will never look at a reflecting ball the same way again. I think what is truly revolutionary about this story is the idea that a child could be so cruel (not only while she was alive, but also from beyond the grave!). The reasons why Emily is so evil are explained, but when you consider the time period, it is truly ahead of its time. Short, spooky and sweet- Jane-Emily deserves a reprint and a new set of fans.
