Need the title of a book, please help! Read it in 4th grade (so, 20 years ago? ) and only remember a few little pieces The main character is a young girl, she lives in an old house with a pond on the property.

There is the ghost of another young girl who died in the pond, and one of the girls' name was MAYBE Helen, but I can't really remember. Oh, and at the end the girl jumps into the pond and gets tangled in the weeds underwater... any of this sound familiar to anyone? :) Asked by Super_Mom 31 months ago Similar questions: title book help Read 4th grade 20 years ago remember pieces Arts > Books.

Wait Till Helen Comes: A Ghost Story by Mary Downing Hahn Wait Till Helen Comes by Mary Downing Hahn Editorial Reviews From School Library Journal Grade 4-7 Ghost story fans have a spooky treat in store with Hahn's eerie new novel. Molly, the 12-year-old narrator, and her brother Michael dislike their bratty 5-year-old stepsister Heather and resent the family move to an isolated converted church in the country. The adjourning graveyard frightens Molly, but Heather seems drawn to it.

Molly discovers that the ghost of a child (Helen) who died in a fire a century ago wants to lure Heather to her doom. Molly determines to save her stepsister. In so doing, she learns that Heather's strange behavior stems from her feelings of guilt at having accidentally caused her mother's death by playing near a stove and starting a fire.

Eventually, Molly wrests Heather from Helen's arms as the ghost attempts to drown them. The girls discover the skeletons of Helen's parents, and their burial finally puts to rest Helen's spirit. This is a powerful, convincing, and frightening tale.

The details of everyday life quickly give way to terror. The pace never slackens. Characterization is strong, and descriptive passages set a mood of suspense.

Review "A ghost story par excellence in which a difficult seven-year-old is drawn into a frightening relationship with the ghost of a dead child." (Booklist, ALA, Starred ) Product Description Twelve-year-old Molly and her ten-year-old brother, Michael, have never liked their younger stepsister, Heather.

Ever since their parents got married, she's made Molly and Michael's life miserable. Now their parents have moved them all to the country to live in a house that used to be a church, with a cemetery in the backyard. If that's not bad enough, Heather starts talking to a ghost named Helen and warning Molly and Michael that Helen is coming for them.

Molly feels certain Heather is in some kind of danger, but every time she tries to help, Heather twists things around to get her into trouble. It seems as if things can't get any worse. But they do--when Helen comes.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
