Praise and Reviews
This well crafted ghost story is intended for middle range YA readers, but has enough mild chills for older readers too. Even I got a tingle when the ghost first appears and talks to the children. It's not too spooky for timid readers and is a great adventure tale too.
The Ghost of Whispering Willow is a story of love, mystery, family and friendship. Readers enjoy the ride as the children do their best to help Elias, the ghost, and his little sister, Margaret-Rose. Who knew ghosts even need help? But they do and it's a dangerous situation for all involved.
The characters in novel are wonderfully crafted preteens who are very lifelike in their speech and actions. Thrasher captures their courage and naivete well. The ghosts are also incredibly well delineated. They sound as if they are from a different time. Even though they've existed through the years, their thoughts and perceptions are those of less modern people.
I really enjoyed The Ghost of Whispering Willow and I highly recommend it to anyone who likes a good, well crafted, warmhearted, exciting ghost story. Five Golden Acorns

I have really enjoyed her previous stories about her mystical mushroom patch fairies, and now she has demonstrated her ability to tell ghost stories as well!
