Product Description:
The very first time Zoe met Zoe Louise, Zoe was four years old. Zoe Louise was more than 100. From that day on -- living in the same house, separated by a staircase and a century -- Zoe and Zoe Louise have been an important and permanent part of each other's lives.
Now Zoe is older. And although Zoe Louise never grows up, she is changing in dreadful, frightening ways. Time is running out for Zoe's frightening ways. Time is running out for Zoe's best friend -- and Zoe is the only one who can help her. To do so, she must travel back 100 years in time and somehow alter the past. But in changing the past, must she also change the present? If she saves her friend's life, will she lose Zoe Louise forever?Zoe's grandparents think that Zoe Louise is Zoe's imaginary friend. The truth, however, is that Zoe Louise lived in Zoe's house a century ago, and her ghost has returned to solve a terrible mystery. . . . An eerie and gripping time fantasy. Conrads spare, vivid prose sustains the suspense, drawing readers inexorably toward a climax as satisfying as it is unexpected. SLJ.

This book is about a girl who has to stay with her grandparents,because her mom is a little crazy. The girl's name is Zoe and one day her grandpa told her she could clean up the old play house on the front porch. When she's doing that she sees a girl under the table and she becomes friends with this girl and her name is Zoe Louise. Zoe Louise is a ghost of a little girl who's house used to be the house Zoe now lives in. Every time Zoe Louise gets mad she runs off and goes into the door at the base of the back stairway and she vanishes into her own world back in time and one day she gets Zoe to come with her. I thought this book was amazing it just grabed at my attention. I couldn't put it down for one second.

I vividly remember this book even though I read it when I was about eight or nine years old, and I remember it was the very first book I ever cried about after finishing it. I just didn't want the story to end because I felt that I had grown so close to the characters. A book has to be really magical for me to cry about it, and this story really touched my heart.

When I think of the books I read in grade school, this one sticks out. The plot was more mature than in other books I'd read. I couldn't put it down!
Rated by buyers -
I read this book when I was around 6 or 7 and it is still vivid in my memory more than a decade later. I can't think of another book that has had that effect on me. I would recommend it to anyone. I'm picky about what I let my nieces read, but I would definitely encourage them to read this book.
