Twelve-year-old Molly and her ten-year-old brother, Michael, have never liked their seven-year-old stepsister, Heather. Ever since their parents got married, she's made Molly and Michael's life miserable. Now their parents have moved them all to the country to live in a house that used to be a church, with a cemetery in the backyard. If that's not bad enough, Heather starts talking to a ghost named Helen and warning Molly and Michael that Helen is coming for them. Molly feels certain Heather is in some kind of danger, but every time she tries to help, Heather twists things around to get her into trouble. It seems as if things can't get any worse.
But they do -- when Helen comes.

I love the book!! You can't stop reading it!! This book is one of her scarier books.
"Wait till helen comes"is a great book.It's about this 12-year-old girl named Molly,10-year-old Michael,their mother,Dave(their stepfather),and Heather, their seven-year-old stepsister who is mean and cruel to them.Every chance she gets,she lies to get them into trouble.the children get the news that they are moving into this old church in the country.Nobody is happy about this except for the parents.When they get there,they find a graveyard behind the house.Heather finds a grave alone,and she starts talking to a ghost named Helen.They have a lot in common because of what each of them did.(you have to find out).Helen is lonely and dangerous because she lures children into the pond by a burned down house she used to live in.Anyway,Molly is deathly afraid of the graveyard and especially when Heather tells them to "Wait till helen comes.You will regret you ever did anything to me"Read it to find out the rest!It wasn't that scary for me but I still enjoyed the book alot.Recommended for anyone who likes mystery/scary/ghost stories.<3
Love this book!Anybody who likes mystery should read this
