"Breathe" deep...

Hi! This is Miss Jo. I just wanted to tell you about a book I have just read.

It is called Breathe: a ghost story by Cliff McNish. He is a very good author who has also written a trilogy called "The Silver Sequence." These books can be found in the Young Adult Science Fiction section.
Well, back to the book. This is not your normal ghost story. A mother and son move into an old farmhouse after the father dies. This house is inhabited by four ghost children and a Ghost Mother, who is very mean. The Ghost Mother tries to catch the ghost children to suck their souls out of their bodies so she can stay out of the Nightmare Passage. Jack, the young boy who has just moved into the house, can see the ghosts. Because the four children fear and hate her, the Ghost Mother becomes friendly with Jack and tries to sway him to love her -- even more than he loves his own mother.

What will happen to the ghost children? What will happen to Jack and his mother? Will the Ghost Mother end up in the Nightmare Passage? You will have to read the book to find out.

All my babbling will not do this book justice. All I can tell you is that it is a very exciting book, and to this day I am still thinking about it. It was a very sad book, but in the end it turned out better than I was expecting.

You will not be disappointed.

See you at the library!
