Roxy Hunter is a girl who is moved from New Jersey to a small town where the crooked owner of the bank is trying to buy up all the real estate the only thing standing in his way is and old Manor House until Roxy comes to town.
Roxy is told a story about a ghost living in her new home which sets her off on her first mystery there are a few laughs to be had and many more with the Blooper Reel enough extras to keep children happy but not too many.
I can't really give top rating 5 stars as it isn't that great but I still will say buy it as it a good first try maybe the next will be better.

Preschool kids loved it. Just enough spook to keep little ones on toes but not to scary where they couldn't sleep at night.

This was a very delightful story and quite thought provoking for my grandchildren in that they had to try to figure out a mystery. Comical and yet a story that could happen in true life.

What a brat!

I suppose Roxy is meant to be sassy and precocious, but she just comes off as being bratty and in need of a lot of time out in her room. She repeatedly mouths off to adults, breaks laws, and never obeys any rules her mother does try to set. She's rude and inconsiderate to her family members. Not at all a good role model.
The movie is watchable. The actress playing Roxy is cute as a button. Some of the sets are very good. The mansion Roxy lives in is fascinating, although you do have to wonder how her mother can afford it on a bank teller's salary. There is also a gorgeous library, which is unfortunately run by a very stereotypical nerdy librarian. A lot of the characters are one dimensional stereotypes--the crabby bank lady, for instance. Small town life is depicted like something out of the 1950s. Neither the bank or the library has computers.
The plot is rather thin and doesn't really add up. Roxy's great detective skills are just coincidences and wild guesses that always just happen to be right.
I'd pass on this one. It isn't wretched, but with Roxy's behavior problems, why bother with a so-so plot.
