Wait 'till Helen Comes

Wait Till Helen Comes is a book about two kids, Molly and Michael, who are living with their mother, Jean; their stepfather, Dave; and their stepsister, Heather. The family lives in Baltimore, but move out to an old church in the country. The new house has a graveyard in the backyard, and Molly is afraid that there is a ghost living out there due to Heather’s weird behavior. Molly and Michael do not get along well with Heather, as the little seven-year-old is always trying to make their life difficult and get them in trouble with Dave. When Heather starts threatening the two kids with Helen, Michael thinks it’s a joke, while Molly begins to take it seriously. As they get used to their new house, Heather’s behavior starts to get even worse. She hardly ever spends time at home, and puts herself in positions which could possibly kill her. While Molly is certain the ghost is real, she has to try to get everyone else to believe her, and try to save Heather at the same time.
