Product Details

Product Description

From Publishers Weekly

This frightening, penetrating tale concerns Barney Palmer, who discovers that one person in each generation of his family has had supernatural powers; has he inherited this dreaded curse? Ages 9-12.
Copyright 1991 Reed Business Information, Inc.


From AudioFile

"When suddenly, on an ordinary Wednesday, it seemed to Barney that the world tilted and ran downhill in all directions, he knew he was about to be haunted again." So begins Mahy's classic story of an eight-year-old boy's struggle between family history and individual destiny. Richard Mitchley's supple voice and lively pacing combine to create a middle groundÐneither wholly real nor entirely imaginaryÐwhere Mahy's characters weave their subtly shifting patterns of relationships imperceptibly changed by death and birth. This story and voice linger in the mind long after the tape is over. K.T.B. (c)AudioFile, Portland, Maine --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

5.0 out of 5 stars Get children this book., Mar 26 2004
This review is from: The Haunting (Hardcover)
This book is truly terrific. I love most of Margaret Mahy's books dearly, including this one, and this is the only one I've read that is clearly "Children's" and not "YA". Of wonderful magical Children's books such as the Green Knowe series, Grimbold's Other World, E. Nesbit's works, and The Ordinary Princess, this is one of the few set in a fairly recent time and ordinary (seemingly) family. It is not diminished as great kids' fantasy by a setting far less dated and remote than, say, that of the Dark is Rising series, or Alan Garner's books. After reading many of these works and growing up a bit, a young person could go on to read Aliens in the Family, The Changeover, and The Tricksters, these three in my opinion the best of her YA fantasies. Get your favorite youngun started now with this book or read it and get hooked yourself on Margaret Mahy!

5.0 out of 5 stars The Weird and Mysterious Family., Oct 3 2000
By A Customer
The title of the book is "The Haunting." Margaret Mahy is the author and illistrater of the book. If I had mto give a shot summary of the book, this is what it would be:There is a family named the Palmer family .There is a boy named Barnaby who thinks he is dead because there is a voice or ghost that tells him ,but6 it really is his great great uncle who died and he also has the same name.His family also has many powers. that is why I say they are weird or cool.
