House on Cherry Street Books in Order

House on Cherry Street is Rodman Philbrick and Lynn Harnett doing classic haunted-house suspense for younger readers. The setup is simple and strong: Jason and his little sister Sally spend the summer in a beautiful seaside house, and Jason knows almost at once that something in it does not want children there.

The haunting feels personal. This is not just an old house with a few spooky rumors. A dead boy named Bobby still lingers, and the force of what happened to him seems to live in the walls. Jason can sense it. Sally, because she is younger and more open, is even more vulnerable.

Across The Haunting, The Horror, and The Final Nightmare, the series keeps widening the same fear. First there is the uneasy realization that the house itself is watching. Then the danger sharpens, especially when Bobby reaches toward Sally and later possesses her. By the end, Jason is not only dodging ghosts. He is digging into the buried story of Bobby's death and the adults who failed him.

The setting does a lot of work. A summer house by the sea sounds bright and harmless on paper, which makes the haunting feel stronger once it settles in. Bedrooms, stairways, porches, and hidden spaces all turn into places where the past can push through.

The books are made to keep you turning pages.

But they also work because Jason and Sally feel like real siblings. Jason is scared, protective, annoyed, and stubborn in believable ways, which keeps the danger grounded. Bobby is not only there to rattle chains, either. He wants something, remembers something, and ties the ghost story to a mystery about injustice.

So if you are looking at this page and wondering what to expect, think haunted-house chills, quick pacing, and kid-sized courage under pressure. It is spooky, readable, and built around the idea that the truth might be the only thing that can quiet a house that refuses to forget.
