When a teenaged girl moves to England, with her brothers and parents into the ancient Canterville Hall, she's not at all happy.

But then Ginny actually meets the elusive 17th-century Sir Simon de Canterville (not to mention the cute teenaged duke next door), and she sets her hand to the task of freeing Sir Simon from his curse.
