This book is my FAVORITE featuring the Ruby Princess! A ghost is haunting Roxanne's castle and she sets herself on a mission to find it. Her sister Sabrina, (the Sapphire Princess) is afraid for safety and decides to help her solve the mystery. But the two of them end up discovering something much worse than a creepy haunting ghost...

The Jewel Kingdom series is a fantastic series, and each book stands very well on its own. I HIGHLY recommend them all to young girls.

This book is the best so far in the whole series. I was surprised to see the other princess' and the dragon turn away and run when Roxanne's castle was haunted. This book keeps you on your feet with its fast paced plot and exciting action. I also appreciated the exposition we get about the history of the Jewel Kingdom.

Roxemume's palace is haunted! A really bad and mean lord sent his servants to haunt her palace. When her other friends sees the ghost they freak out. Soon they were too scared to stand it any more.

Will they get the ghosts away from the palace?

Roxanne was brave to face a ghost, though it wasn't really a ghost. It was the mean Princess Rudgrin, Lord Bleak's daughter.

I loved this entire series when I was a child but I can remember being slightly scared about the ghost.
