For a couple years I have looked for a series of children's books online, and havent found them. They were for younger kids and had fantasy creatures in them like flying horses and dragons. And I always remembered that on the back of each book that had a "cutsie" looking dragons face in a circle. I'm guessing that it was the logo.
It's just one of those things that drives you crazy...annoying. Thanks for any help.
Not sure of the title, and if I remembered more about the plotlines I would tell you...sorry.

Help remembering this book?

When I was young I read a book about a girl who goes to stay with her dad and there are ghosts there. The cover has a picture of a little boy ghost in an old fashioned outfit, which I think was a sailor's outfit. It has been driving me nuts as to what this book's name was. Anyone think of anything like it? It was probably writted in the early 90s.

Christina's Ghost by Betty Ren Wright
"SynopsisThe book centers around 10-year old tomboy Christina who, to her displeasure, has to spend her summer with her grumpy uncle after her grandmother becomes ill. Uncle Ralph is house sitting for a friend in an old, spooky, and isolated lake-side Victorian mansion. Once she gets there she, finds a room that looks as if it had once belonged to a little boy. There she sees, for the first time, a little boy in a blue sailor suit, who disappears before Christina can talk to him. She also finds out that whatever she does, she cannot get inside the attic even though she hears noises coming from there. Christina decides she wants to know why the little boy is there. On a trip to the nearby city, Christina looks for old newspapers to see if she can find any information about the house. She finds a newspaper dated 30 years ago. It says that a murder took place in the house after a man stole some valuable stamps. The men whom he stole from found out where he was staying and went to kill him. The little boy was killed simply because he had witnessed the murder. One of the murderers confessed and said that they never found the stamps. When Christina gets back she finds the stamps inside an old comic book in the boy's room. Suddenly she hears something descending from the attic. Once again she sees the boy, but his time his expression is of terror, pointing at the attic door where the ghost of his sitter is about to come out. Christina and her uncle flee the house after the ghost of the sitter causes chaos. They manage to escape and spend the night in a nearby town. They turn the stamps in to the local sheriff's office the next morning. When they arrive back at the house, that morning, they find the doors and windows all open from the previous night. Upon further investigating, Christina concludes the ghost of the little boy is finally at peace now that the mystery surrounding his untimely death has been solved."
