A Ghost Writer's Perspective

This story is about an eleven-year-old girl named Allie Nichols. She is an average six grader with one special quality. Allie has the ability to see supernatural beings. Ghostly spirits appear to Allie for help so they can eventually rest in peace. She meets the spirit of a handsome young man named John Walker. Allie believes he genuinely needs her help, but she soon realizes that some ghosts are not honest. Although the intended audience for this book is 14 or older, younger children who like suspense and mystery will also enjoy reading this book. If you listen to the audio book, you will be intrigued by the narrator's mastery to bring the characters to life. It will capture your attention and imagination!

The Ghost and Mrs.Hobbs

The Ghost and Mrs.Hobbs is a great story for people of all ages. It kept me in suspense right up to the last chapter! I could'nt wait to finish and see how the story turned out! I chose to listen to this book on audio for my english class because I thought that it would be short and I would'nt have to listen to it for that long, I never thought that I would actually like the book, but I did! If I could I would write another paper for it! I really think that you should read this book because I know you'll enjoy it!

A yipee indeed

Of course I gave this book 5 stars. Everything about the book is perfect---I wouldn't change a word.

Mrs. Hobbs is a hit!

If you enjoyed The Ghost of Fossil Glen, you won't be disappointed by this one! It's the cat's pajamas!

very good children books

I saw this book at the lybrary several months ago, and as soon as I was done with the first chapter, I finished it the next day. It was a really good children book, and as for grown-ups.I won't tell you about the plot, because I don't want to give it away. but trust me, you will not be dissapointed.
