1) Spooky but good [Rating: 5 out of 5]
This book is scary but really good! I really like mysteries. When the Krushers are leaving a game, the bridge is flooded and the only place to stay is in a HAUNTED MANSION! They find a mystery in the mansion and end up finding out that the person involved in the mystery lives right in their own town Stoneybrook! I like this book because like I said, i love mysteries!2) Kristy and the Haunted Mansion [Rating: 5 out of 5]
ISBN 0590449583 - I haven't been reading the BSC books in any particular order, which sometimes makes it confusing. Dawn and Mary Ann are stepsisters, they weren't in the last book I read; Stacey is in Stoneybrook, she was in New York the last I knew... It doesn't impact the book, as each one does stand alone, but I'd read them in order if I were to start again! That said, the Mystery books aren't numbered the same way as the others, so my only complaint is that I wouldn't have any idea where they fit into the series!Kristy is the coach of a softball team named the Krushers. Bart coaches the Bashers. They form an all-star team from both of their teams and dub them the Krashers. Travelling home from Redfield after a game Kristy, Bart, Charlie and eight kids find themselves stranded by a storm. The only house in sight is a mansion where they had seen lights, so they head to it, hoping that they can call home to let their parents know they're okay. A smaller house on the property is occupied by an old man, who tells him he's the caretaker and lets them stay the night in the big house.While they're there, the kids find a diary and other clues to a mystery. Owen Sawyer's portrait scares Jamie, who has heard that the Sawyer house is haunted - and now they're IN that house! Owen's daughter died on a night just like this, the night she had planned to elope with her boyfriend, Will. How long will they be trapped there? And will they meet Dorothy Sawyer's ghost while they wait for the storm to stop?Very good story, not too scary but very interesting reading. I like that the BSC books always reference other books (and sometimes, movies) - in this case, Beezus and Ramona, Little Women, The Wizard of Oz, The Little Mermaid, Frog and Toad and Ghostbusters. I did find a few things odd. For one, Kristy says "I'm always reading these articles about people being struck by lightning and having their zippers welded shut and stuff, and the idea just scares the daylights out of me." Her greatest fear, if struck by lightning, is that she won't be able to open her zipper? That's stupid, and the BSC books aren't usually stupid. Also, having read a bunch of these books and never having come across the mention of a group hug before, it was a surprise to read "... a group hug. That's a BSC tradition..." On the positive side, I liked the reference to Resurrection Mary's story, even if she was never named, and even if her story gets told all over the country with a different name! And I really like that Martin pays attention to details, like remembering their horse-craziness by having Mallory and Jessi looking at a book of horse pictures. All around, just a teeny bit better than the usual BSC books, which are great to begin with!3) Great! [Rating: 5 out of 5]
When Kristy and the Krashers are forced to live inside a creepy mansion with a creepy mystery. One of Kristy's Krusher gets scared. They have to sleep there because of a terrible rain. Is Jackie's ghost story true like lights going on and off, a dead woman, ...4) this book was super great! [Rating: 5 out of 5]

Find out when you read this great book5) I loved this book you should to. [Rating: 5 out of 5]
Kristy and the haunted mansion is one of the best baby-sitters club books that I have read so far. I love baby-sitters club because it's always an adventure to experience. Kristy and her softball team got stuck in a thunderstorm and had to sleep in a big spooky mansion on sayer road. they snoop around and find out a lot of stuff about the people who used to live there and even met one of them. But they survived the night. The members of the baby-sitters club threw a party for Kristy when she got back to Stoneybrook.
