Jade Green

by Phillis Reynolds Naylor

Summary: After Judith's mother dies, her uncle agrees to take her in, on the condition that she never, ever brings anything green into her uncle's home. Unfortunately, the only item she has left from her mother is a photo in a green picture frame. Since no one ever told her why there is no green allowed, she figures her uncle just doesn't like the color, and that the frame would do no harm buried at the bottom of her suitcase. Boy, was she wrong!

My thoughts: While the ending was no real surprise, I still really enjoyed figuring it out, and all the creepy events leading up to the resolution. Just a good old fashioned ghost story!
