Sinossi
Molly e suo fratello Michael non hanno mai legato con la sorellastra Heather, una bambina di sette anni che non perde occasione di accusarli ingiustamente, seminando discordia tra i genitori. Fin quando la famiglia si trasferisce in una vecchia chiesa ristrutturata in campagna e le cose precipitano. Attratta dall'antico cimitero che confina con la proprietà, Heather sostiene di parlare con il fantasma di una bambina di nome Helen, morta oltre cent'anni prima, e minaccia i fratelli con un cupo avvertimento: «Quando Helen verrà a prendervi, vi pentirete di tutto quello che mi avete fatto». Ma chi è Helen e come mai la sua lapide si erge solitaria, con le sue sole iniziali a ricordarla? Unita a lei da un terribile segreto, Heather ne è come posseduta, anche se nessuno tranne Molly crede alla sua esistenza. E, quel che è peggio, Heather ignora quanto sia pericolosa... Helen era così malvagia come Heather la faceva sembrare o era semplicemente una bambina smarrita in cerca di qualcuno che le volesse bene? Età di lettura: da 12 anni.

Sigh...the good ghost stories that somehow passed me by as a kid...well, better late than never! This is a bone-chilling goodie, too. Everything I love in a ghost story: creepy little girls, hidden graves, faces in windows, crumbling ruins in the woods, even a dark and murky pond. Brrrrr!! A bit dat Leggi tutto
This book wasn't the most terrifying ghost story. But the book did keep me interested and entertained throughout. It was about a 3 star book for me until thr last quarter of the book when everything started wrapping up. The ending was a 4 star for me... The message in Wait Till Helen Comes is both h Leggi tutto
This is a book I've literally had on my shelf for over 10 years. My aunt gave it to me years ago, as it was her favorite children's book. I, being a terrible niece, never read it. Until now. Wait Till Helen Comes is an interesting book. I think it might have scared me, as a child. It deals heavily wi Leggi tutto
Being a grandparent has enriched my life in so many ways, including the books I read. Being on the lookout for children’s books to share with my grandsons, who have also become quite avid readers, I have discovered that children’s books can be very enjoyable for adults as well. A children’s book (a Leggi tutto
✰ 3 stars ✰ “Helen Elizabeth Harper,” she whispered. “My friend and your enemy.” I'm sure there's been some moment in your life where you may have hurled these taunts at someone 'you'll be sorry' or 'you'll regret messing with me' or 'you'll rue the day you crossed me' , o Leggi tutto
I was shocked to dislike “ Wait Till Helen Comes ”. I know four Mary Downing Hahn novels and revere “Time For Andrew” as one of the best novels I have ever read. It is so unforgettable, the protagonists’ age didn’t matter. The adventure was in the forefront. I had heard of Mary’s earlier 1986 novel, m Leggi tutto
