Carly's Ghost

Carly's ghost is a beautifully written tale that takes me back to being Carly's age. Full of wonder and an emerging sence of self are two things that drive the reader into the feeling that you've been there before. I read this story aloud to a class of fourth graders and they all wanted more of the story when it was over. The author paints a picture of a place that continues to shape itself to the reader at nearly the same pace the characters discover their surroundings. It naturally takes you to the deepest thoughts that creep in and out of the heads of pre-teen youth. The chapters each play like an episode of a thrilling drama. Many of the chapters actually lend themselves to being portrayed in group play.

A Suspenseful Tale

Carly's Ghost is both pleasing and suspenseful in an entertaining way. Characters that are age appropriate and realistic make this persuasive story a must for young readers. Alluring hints of a ghost presence right from the beginning, along with slamming doors, a secret room under the stairs and mysteriuos happenings in an isolated rustic cabin, set the stage for a ghost story that keeps the reader turning the pages. Young Readers will delight in this haunting tale and look forward to up-coming books by Peggy Tibbetts.

Carly's Ghost

An enjoyable adventure for young and old. Tibbetts understands the plight of a 12 year old saddled with a despicible sister and a healthy curiousity. Carly's Ghost illustrates beautifully, adjustment in new surroundings, making new friends, and that everything that goes bump in the night is not scary. Wonderful reading for anyone who is or was 12, and adventurous.

An exciting thriller for young readers!

I found that this book was exciting thriller for young readers and young audiences. As an elementary teacher, I see this as a spooky tale to read my students at Halloween. This is a story I am sure will keep them interested and in suspense with every chapter!

Totally absorbing storytelling from first page to last.

Mysterious footsteps, a cold draft, a slamming door, all center around 12 ywar old Carly Baaille's own bedroom at the mountain cabin she has moved into with her parents and sister, Jackie. Carly suspects suspects their new home is haunted, but everone else things it's just Carly's imagination. But is it! Author Peggy Tibbetts shows a genuine flair for storytelling that renders Carly's Ghost totally absorbing for young readers from first page to last.
