Haunted; The Riverboat Phantom by Chris Eboch


Eboch, Chris Haunted; The Riverboat Phantom, 177 p. Simon and Schuster, 2009. $5.99. Content: G (spooky, but not over the top). Jon and Tania have accompanied their parents on another ghost-hunting trip – this time to a supposedly haunted riverboat on the Mississippi. Tania’s gift may help the kids help the ghost, but Madame Natasha knows their secret and is willing to blackmail the kids in order to ensure their cooperation. If they want to be rid of the Madame, they will have to expose Tania’s secret and Tania may not be ready for the attention. Haunted is shaping up to be a decent middle level ghost series. The ghosts are a bit scary without being horrific and Madame Natasha is a nasty villain. EL, MS – OPTIONAL. Cindy, Library-Teacher.
