Cascone, Gina and Annette Grave Secrets (Deadtime Stories) 192 pgs. Starscape, 2012. $11.53. (Language-G Violence-G; Sexual Content-G).
When Amanda and her
friends dig up and old tattered baby doll, they are sure they heard it say “mama”
even though it was too old for technology components. The discovery sets off a
chain of events that involve the creepy old neighbor lady who has a bad
reputation and a sad little ghost that won’t stop until she gets what she
wants.
An easy and engaging read
that students will like reading. It was creepy and played up the chapter ending
cliff hangers to keep the reader on edge.
The characters were pretty generic, but the spooky events were
interesting enough. This book is a great example of Cliff Hangers and could be
used in a class lesson in that regard.
