Customer Reviews

The best book ever!!!!!!!!!

This is from Andrew. I am 8 1/2 years old, and in 2nd grade. This was the best book I ever read. It's about a boy named Fizz Eddie who saw a ghost last Halloween, and told his two friends (Mary Kate and Jane) and they started believing in him. At their school a new boy named Rusty and Mary Kate had to make a report on ghosts. On Halloween they were planning a haunted house - next to the graveyard, and the kids thought the house really was haunted even before they decorated it. Read the book to find out what happened!

Review on: The Green Ghost of Appleville by Jean Marzollo

Hi-zer-wi-zer! You can call me StoryMaker! I really liked the book "The Green Ghost of Appleville". I read it straight from chapter 1 to chapter 10 in one sitting, and that means it's good! It was a sort of a quick read, but it's exciting and surprising. At Baldwin Street, a street in Appleville, a junior-high student who everyone calls Fizz Eddie claims to have seen the legendary green ghost, who's said to live in a graveyard where there is an old farmhouse that they say he goes in to cook. Could Fizz Eddie be...correct? When Rusty moves into the so-called "haunted house", Mary Kate, an elementry school student, is alarmed. I like how Mary Kate's little brother, Joey, ends up overcoming his fear of ghosts with adults who speak gentle words. The truth about the green ghost, the wonderful characters...everything is great! At one point it got scary, but the truth under that part is great. Even if it dosen't sound interesting, at least check it out from the library...it's at least worth a try! I hope you like this review and this book. Signed, StoryMaker. "Gotta trust the kid's review!"

Kept her reading

My daughter enjoyed this book very much and it is the first chapter she's read. It is very easily understood and the chapters are not too long. The story kept her reading and she can't wait for the next book in the series.

Is he real or not?

Fizz Eddie, Mary Kate's best friend's older brother claims he saw the Green Ghost of Appleville last Halloween. Mary Kate says she's not scared but really is. This may even turn out to be the best Halloween instead of the worst.
