About this ebook
Twelve-year-old Molly and her ten-year-old brother, Michael, have never liked their seven-year-old 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.

This is a pretty good book and Mrs. Hahn succeeds in giving you the spooks. I've read it a couple times. I love Hahn. I think she s a truly awesome ghost-story writer!

Wait Till Helen Comes is a twisting ghost ghost story. You will never want to put it down. Mary Downing Hahn is a wonderful author. A great book for 3rd grade through 5th.

This book brings back so many childhood memories. When I first read it, I didn't realize it was a ghost story. I'm not sure why I chose the book on library day, but it didn't take me long to finish it. I hope to be able to write scary stories that aren't too scary for children.
