'-- Kirkus Reviews' At her grandmother's log cabin, nine-year-old Liz is led to make contact with children she believes may be her ancestors. Liz is staying with her grandmother in her old house in the woods of northern Minnesota when one night a noise awakens her. It is someone calling her name, calling for Elizabeth. Liz opens her eyes. There is a blue ghost in her room! What does the ghost want from her? This exciting mystery by Newbery Honor writer Marion Dane Bauer is perfect for first chapter-book readers. 'From the Hardcover edition.' Liz is awakened in the middle of the night by a mysterious voice softly calling her name. At first she sees nothing in the dark room. Then a shimmery blue light catches her eye. The light hovers and suddenly becomes a lovely woman dressed in old-fashioned clothing. Liz can see right through her!
