Bauer continues the theme she began with The Blue Ghost (2005). Here the ghostly aspects issue from a doll dressed all in red velvet. Jenna finds the doll at a neighbor’s garage sale, and is certain it will be a perfect gift for her little sister. But the doll gives off what can only be described as bad vibes. No one wants her, not Jenna’s sister, not the neighbor, not even Jenna. But there’s a mystery surrounding the doll. It once belonged to Miss Tate’s sister, who died as a child. When Jenna learns that Miss Tate’s mother poured all her sadness and love into the doll, a clue to the doll’s vibrations emerges. A spooky cover will draw kids, and once between the covers, they’ll find a clever ghost story that will engage readers, especially new ones, who’ll push their personal envelopes to find out what happens next. Pencil illustrations nicely break up the text
