Why read it?
1 author picked A Candle in Her Room as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
I love all books by Ruth M. Arthur, and this one is particularly special. It starts with three sisters and an evil doll named Dido. I love multi-generational stories, and this one starts in the late 1800s and ends up in a post-WW II orphanage. I have read this book about seven times and never tire of its compelling power. Arthur weaves the supernatural into real life and loss, exploring how trauma can persist and damage generations, while giving young readers a gripping read.
From Heather's list on spooky (but not too spooky) ghost stories for kids.
