The Blue ghost

The Blue Ghost is a good story about a girl called Liz. One night she sees a blue ghost near her bed, calling her name. Liz just walks into the wall and sees another Elizabeth looking after 3 children and 1 baby. She develops a kind of relationship with her. They tell each other about ghosts. The best part is that Liz's grandma manages to take her mind off selling the house. That was worrying her a lot. I liked this book because it was interesting and I loved it! A person who does not believe in ghosts would find this book amusing.

Charming!

The Blue Ghost is a simple straight forward story about Liz (9 years old) and her grandmother working together to get the grandmothers old cabin in the woods ready to sell. As we meet Liz, she wakes in the middle of the night to find a glowing blue female figure calling her name and ultimately it is up to Liz to figure out what this ghost needs her to do! This book is ideal for readers just starting out with chapter books, its got easy to follow (and quite charming) plot twist that are very easy for beginning readers to follow, since sometimes for them it's a struggle to read the words AND comprehend the story! With The Blue Ghost, that shouldn't be an issue at all! Also this book has pictures, which will help bring the story to life for the reader! Overall, this is a great starter chapter book that gifts the reader with a charming feel good story!!
