About the book
A strange and exciting adventure began for the Carver Family when they moved into the house on Windy Hill. Was it truly a haunted house? Professor Carver insisted that it could not be, but Jamie and Lorna knew that mysterious things were happening there. It was fun to live in the country, though. The whole family loved the big old house with its lookout tower, and the woods and the fields around it. Jamie and Lorna made friends with the elusive Miss Miggie and with the lonely beggar boy Bruno who sat with his goat at the crossroads. Then one dark night it seemed as though all the legends of Windy Hill might indeed be true. Clyde Robert Bulla has written a suspenseful tale that ends, as Miss Miggie would say, with a "happy day", and Don Bolognese has captured its special flavor in pictures that perfectly match the story's strength and simplicity.
