The Ghost of Poplar Point
It's summer vacation in the fourth adventure for Allie Nichols, "Ghost Magnet." Allie and her friend Dub are looking forward to their roles in the town of Seneca's summer pageant, which portrays the relationship between the area's early European settlers and the local Seneca Indians.

Too bad ghosts don't know about summer vacation.

During rehearsals, Allie is visited by a new ghost. To her embarrassment, it causes her to babble in a strange language in front of the director and all the other kids. It haunts her dreams with images of smoke and screaming people. As she tries to find out who the ghost is, and what it wants, Allie uncovers a centuries-old secret - and shakes up the town.
