However, some of her themes are pretty heavy for young readers and include death, child endangerment, suicide (usually in the form of a wicked ghost forcing people to harm themselves), and overall supernatural themes, as well as addressing serious real-world issues like mental illness or the loss of a parent. Most of her ghost stories are very kid-friendly in the sense that they never feature graphic violence, and the supernatural menace is always wrapped up by the final page with wrongs righted, understandings reached, and the ghost moving permanently to a peaceful repose. Less well-known are her historical works, which often feature a modern-day child transported to the past to witness an historical event or right a long-ago wrong.
Her 1986 ghost story Wait Till Helen Comes became her Breakthrough Hit, and she's reliably published a new work every year since. Mary Downing Hahn (born December 9, 1937) is a prolific American author, known primarily for her safely spooky ghost novels for children.
