Question: Looking for a juv fic book!. A girl and her writer dad move into her dead grandmas house and there is a ghost!?
The Dad is a writer, and they move into the house after the grandmother dies!. The girl is haunted by a ghost who I think might be the grandmother, but I can't remember!. At one point, the ghost leaves a ribbon (blue!? hair ribbon!? I can't remember) on the girl's pillow!. The girl also makes a friend with the neighbor girl, who is kind of odd as I remember!. I also remember the name Jenny, I don't know if that was the girl's name or the ghost's name or what!. And I kind of remember the girl's teacher moving in with the girl and her dad, but I could be mistaken!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

"Out of the Dark" by Betty Ren Wright

"Booklist Review: Books for Youth, Middle Readers: Gr!. 4-6!. The decision to live in her beloved grandmother's home in the country isn't turning out to be the splendid change Jessica Belland had anticipated!. Her mother is unhappy; her father is preoccupied with the book he's writing; and Jessie's having terrible nightmares--all of which center on a strange old schoolhouse and a frightening woman with blond hair, who, for some inexplicable reason, seems bent on harming Jessie!. The plot becomes strained, especially when the ghost inexplicably changes her haunting venue, and Jessie's final confrontation with the spirit is just too pat; still, Wright nicely avoids overt violence, and her timing is excellent--she knows just when to turn away from Jessie's earthbound concerns about family and her new acquaintance, Toni, to call up the tantalizing supernatural!.
