A friend just gave me a copy of one of her own childhood favorites -could be out of print now -- called MIRROR OF DANGER (originally published as
"Come Back, Lucy" in 1973). This is also a ghost story and time travel story. A girl, who was raised by an elderly aunt lost in the past, must move in with other relatives when the aunt passes away. The girl's grief and yearning for her aunt leads her to be susceptible to the machinations of a ghost, who wants to bring her back to the latter part of the 19th century and keep her there.

I thought it was very well done.
