This book is about four children who have moved into a large old house with their step-mother and father. When their new step-sister, Amanda, comes to live with them strange things happen.  Amanda has a love for witchcraft and the occult.  She starts to teach David, Jamie and the twins about these things and has them pass tests and initiations.  They hold a seance.   The house seems to be haunted. but David suspects Amanda.

The book was good.  I thought it was a little creepy but it didn’t go too far.  It held my interest and was well written.
