Author's note :  i believe in ghosts


What would you think if your house was haunted?  In the book Ghost Hunt, there are many chilling stories that might just give you nightmares.   For me, the book entertains me because I like to hear or read about ghosts and the things they do.  The book explains how ghosts have the power to make people do strange things.

Miranda is a four year old girl and she is the only one who can see and talk to the ghost of Grandma Helen in her house.  Miranda’s mother is very worried about her daughter being able to see and talk to a ghost so she calls  the TAPS team, “The Atlantic Paranormal Society”.  They help Grandma Helen control Miranda.

Grandma Helen leads Miranda into the basement to find something.  Miranda has no idea what she is looking for.  She is pulled to an area with some boxes and the search begins.  After almost an hour, Miranda finds a cigar box.  After carefully opening the box, Miranda’s father finds a ring  in it.  

Miranda’s father decided to put the ring in pink tissue paper and bury it at the base of Grandma Helen’s tombstone.  Grandma Helen is now happy to have her ring back and now passes to the other side.  Grandma Helen stops communicating with Miranda.

If Grandma Helen had not lead Miranda to the basement with the boxes, one of her most treasured items would never have been found.  Do you believe in ghosts?  After reading this book, I believe in ghosts and I       think they communicate with people every day.

Author's note: the book is borring


“It was 1901 and I was patching up a tire when my bother Jake came in soaked to the skin.
“Twister” he said, so then we went back to in to the grape arbor. “ (1) These two sentences are from Here Lies the Librarian  that was  written  by Richard Peck.   I expected more action in this book and it  just wasn’t there.

Jake is 19 years old and the older bother of  Eleanor who is 14 years old . He is going to drive in a road race.  Jake was thrown from the car while turning in the air like a wrench and hit a tree in lap two.  He suffered a broken arm. The car hit the hay and wasn’t  damaged enough that it could not be driven by someone else.

After Jake got injured, his sister Eleanor had to finish the race for him.  Eleanor had to race eight boring laps. Eleanor’s tire popped and she had to finish the race going backwards. To her surprise she won the race. Unfortunately, she did not win  the  prize money because she was not registered for the race and she wasn’t the right age.  She was only 14 and she needed to be 16 to get the prize money.  .  

Except for the car crash and Eleanor finishing the race backwards  everything else in  the book was uneventful.  There was no action in the book and didn’t  hold my attention.  I thought there could be more car crashes and more cars hitting the hay.  All the book did was give me anxiety until the story was done.

This book is a fiction book about a brother and a sister living on their own.  Jake and his sister have suffered a twister and had finish a race to make sure that their enemies don't get  the prize money.  Although it seemed like an exciting start to the book, Here's Lies the Librarian was very uneventful and boring to me.  I prefer books with a lot of action in them.  While this book had some action, it was just not enough.
