The Midnight Curse / L. M. Falcone / 208 pages / Horror

Charlie, his fraternal twin sister Lacey, and their mom fly to England for the reading of Great-great Uncle Jonathan's will.  They are so poor that their mother sells their living room furniture every few years.  Their father died in a car accident a few years ago.   Upon arriving in England, the twins become embroiled with ghosts and a century old curse.  Uncle Jonathan had falsely accused his best friend, Robert, causing his death at the gallows.  Robert cursed him.  The curse has been handed down to Charlie and he must sleep in water every night or he will blacken and shrivel.  A happy ending and many humorous events make this horror novel more entertaining than frightening.
