Content: G; Violence: PG.
Liam is moving
into an old house with his dad and his older sister Kelly. They are trying to
have a fresh start after the death of their mother. But this house isn’t very
welcoming, with tons of horrible noises, a skeletal hand and more. But when
Kelly and her friend stir up things with a Bloody Mary chant to the bathroom
mirror, Liam must save his sister from a horrible fate. Then a mysterious
message from a friendly ghost might just
save the entire family from disaster.
This is an odd
book, it’s like a second grade reading level, but a fear factor for upper
elementary. I think students might enjoy this, but sleepless nights/nightmares
later, the parents won’t be thanking me. I think I might just stick with
spooky, rather than horror, and pass on this book.
