Survivor Reviewed by: Firestar (a.k.a. Soren!!!)

I hadn't even heard of these books until my buddy Kasey told me about them. She would scream about Eddie and Brenda and dead people through the hallways at our school! She's a nut. In a good way. So, this book is about young Cole Sear, who, as we learned in the movie THE SIXTH SENSE, sees dead people. The book opens with him in an art museum with his class. He is pretty bored, that is until he looks out the window and witnesses Flight 333 crash right in front of his eyes. The firefighters climb through the fiery wreckage, to find survivors, but they only find one, and she's barely alive. But Cole sees hundreds of people climb through the flames and debris, all bloody and burned. In other words, dead people. That night, Cole starts getting "visits" from the dead passengers of Flight 333. His first, a 15 year old girl named Marisa, asks him to help her younger sister-the only survivor of the crash. Cole promises to his new, dead friend that he will try to help, so he makes daily visits to her in the hospital. Through the book, Cole also helps the other passengers with their problems, while at the same time trying to find out why the plane crashed in the first place. His only clue is the cockpit recording, with some faint Russian words. But instead of this being helpful, it makes things a little more confusing. . . . .

Very good book

This is a very interesting book. It was a little young for me when I read it (mostly because the main character was as old as my younger brother) but I still thought it had an excellent storyline. Milly was a very complex and interesting character, and although she was spoiled before she died on the Milly Dear, she had an intriguing sense of mystery about her. At the end of every chapter, I'd want to keep reading. I even read this when a guest speaker was doing a presentation for my class and the teacher slammed it shut. I was being rude, I know, but that only shows how suspenseful and amazing this book is.

The Ghost By The Sea

I know it did me. I earge any mystery liver to read the book. It opens your mind to new ideas and brodens your horizens. Go ahead and take a chance, sit down and start reading!!!!!

exciting

I really loved this book. I read it a year ago and it is still one of my favorite books. The ghost Milly is really evil but she's makes a really interesting character. This book is a great read for kids around 10-13 maybe a little older even. Deffinetly read this book if you like excitement.

Hurray,Eileen Dunlop!

I loved this book!I deffintiley recommend it to a maturereader.I'm 11,and I read it a few years ago.I shouldn't have becausethe graphic detail in this book is a main priorty in the plot. You can really relate to Robin when she is sent off to her grandmother's house.As far as she knows,she's going to spend a boring,hot summer by the coast.But she never thought she'd find a real ghost!This is an action-packed thriller,pageturner filled with suspense,mystery,horror and drama.
