Travis and his sister, Corey, can’t resist a good trick—so when they learn that their grandmother’s sleepy Vermont inn has a history of ghost sightings, they decide to do a little “haunting” of their own. Scaring the guests proves to be great fun, and before long, the inn is filled with tourists and ghost hunters eager for a glimpse of the supernatural.
But Travis and Corey soon find out that they aren’t the only ghosts at Fox Hill Inn. Their thoughtless games have awakened something dangerous, something that should have stayed asleep. Restless, spiteful spirits swarm the inn, while a dark and terrifying presence stalks the halls and the old oak grove on the inn’s grounds. To lay the ghosts to rest, Travis and Corey must first discover the dark history of Fox Hill and the horrors visited on its inhabitants years earlier.

This book is very cool! Two kids named Travis and Corey come to visit their grandmother for summer. They soon find out that the inn is said to be haunted. You know kids. They cant resist a good prank. While Travis and Corey are dressing up as ghosts and scaring the socks off guests, they awaken a ghost. Actually, more than one ghost. The three ghosts, Caleb, Ira, and Seth are awakened along with their playmates and their murderer. Miss Ada. The history of Fox Hill is so thrilling. Apparently, two people bought the inn and sheltered people. Unfortunately, they were mean. Seth, Ira, and Caleb stole cheese from the owner's quarters and were punished. Miss Ada beat them and left them out in the freezing weather to sleep for the night. Little did she know, the next morning these mischievous little kids were dead. Caleb, Ira, and Seth were ghosts and slept for the next years until, Travis and Corey woke them up AND Miss Ada with their pranks. Just so you know, Miss Ada can still torture the kids while they are ghosts because she hanged herself in the grove next to the inn. Now, Travis and Corey must put an end to what they did by helping the ghosts. Thrilling, exciting, and erratic "All the Lovely Bad Ones" is a great book and i suggest you read it

Really awesome book! I love the mysterious ghost- Hahn books. I love how Hahn has a way of making a person who may not even like ghost stories be reeled in whith her creativity in the plot and amazing characters.
its about this kid who goes to his grandmas inn to spend the summer. he and his sister play tricks on people and makes them think that it was a ghost. but then they have awaken something. Something that has been asleep for a very long time. They have to try their best to put it back to sleep again without getting killed.
