Review of "The Shadow Guests (Galaxy Children's Large Print)" on 'Goodreads'

This isn't up to the standard of Aiken's Saddle the Sea or her more famous works, but it's more-then-competent YA fantasy that combines a school story with spooky paranormal events and time-slip. There's even a family curse and some interesting discussions of how science can accomodate that sort of thing. I enjoyed it a lot.
