F.B.F: Wait Till Helen Comes
Flashback Friday: Wait Till Helen Comes
Flashback Friday is a weekly meme hosted by Lisa @ Bookshelf Fantasies and it's a way to show a little love to those books that hold a special place in our hearts. There are no set rules aside from the fact that the book must be at least five years old. The book follows a blended family (a mother, her two children, the man she marries, and his young daughter) and their move from a large city to a refurbished church in the country. Once arriving, the youngest child, Heather, who lost her mother in a mysterious house fire, becomes a frequent visitor to the dilapitated cemetery in the woods and claims that she has a new friend named Helen. Helen, it is soon discovered, is a ghost who happened to die over a hundred years ago in a house fire as well. Now she haunts the cemetery hoping to lure other children to the nearby pond. Creep city!
A few years ago I found a used copy of Wait Till Helen Comes in a local bookstore and bought it for a whopping two bucks. One day, if I ever have children, I might read it to them when they're old enough, but it's still a creepy story today.
What are some of your favorite flashback books?
Happy reading!
