Changeover (Margaret Mahy)

I bought this book in an op-shop while on holiday for 50 cents.  It's one I remember enjoying as a teenager, although I didn't remember much about it.  It's a spooky romance, involving a terrifying spirit masquerading as an old man, a wonderful teenage heroine, and an older, mysterious prefect whom she believes is a witch.  It's lots of fun - Mahy is a fantastic writer (I loved many of her books when I was younger), and while this is very mildly dated, it's still a great read.
