Mystery story for young teenagers. First of the 30 book Raven Hill Mysteries series featuring the Teen Power Gang. Liz and her friends try to discover the truth about the ghost of Raven Hill.
This first book in the series introduces the six teenagers who, although very different, develop a friendship and respect for each other as they investigate crimes. This first book is told from the viewpoint of Liz, the kindly, creative member of the six-person gang (each book is told from one of the sextet's point of view). An intriguing little mystery, with some great characters and a down-to-earth tone of voice. Made for young but literate teens.
