The House With Chicken Legs by Sophie Anderson


 I loved this story.  Add this one to your middle school library.  The story is told in Markina's eyes.  It's her relationship with her Grandmother Yaba, the house and later a little boy and a ghost.  She meets with dead people and wants to mingle with the living.  She makes some mistakes that she doesn't realize there are reasons that were not revealed to her.  At a certain point she grieves for her loss.  

Her relationship with the house that is actually alive makes it very precious.  A good read.  Would make a good animation feature film.
