The book wait till helen comes6/29/2023 ![]() ![]() It captured me with its sense of growing dread and it surprised me with its frank discussions of death and suicide. I found Wait Till Helen Comes to be a spooky read that not only engaged me with its plot and characters, but its simple yet evocative descriptions of the world the characters inhabit. This is strange considering I was aware of the book, but for whatever reason I never got around to it– that is, until now. Unlike many children, especially those who sought out ghost stories growing up, I had not read the book as a child. When I read Wait Till Helen Comes for this article, it was my first time. ![]() ![]() And just when they thought she couldn’t get any worse, she meets Helen– a ghost that shares many things with Heather, including her initials and the desire to have a friend who will love them unconditionally. Heather, it seems, is bound and determined to make their lives (and the life of their mom) miserable. They’ve tried to be nice to her, but to no avail. Heather hates Molly and Michael and they’re not sure why. Molly’s little brother Michael is an aspiring scientist/naturalist, and Molly’s little stepsister Heather is an aspiring trouble maker. Wait Till Helen Comes is told from the point of view of Molly. ![]()
