In "Jade Green: A Ghost Story" by Phyllis Reynolds Naylor, fourteen-year-old Jade Green is sent to live with her strict Uncle and Aunt after the death of her parents. As she settles into their old, creaking house, she discovers the long-buried secrets of her family's past. Jade finds herself drawn to the tragic story of a girl who once lived there, who appears to have unfinished business. As ghostly occurrences begin to unravel, Jade must confront not only the haunting specter but also her own grief, ultimately uncovering themes of love, loss, and the importance of letting go.
