Delsie knew she and her friend Todd were not allowed to explore the abandoned houses by the old mill. But when she dared him and they did, she sure didn't expect what she found...
Random House Books for Young Readers published this book in March and sent me a copy for review (thank you). It's written for ages 6-9 and is part of the "color" ghost series by the Ms. Bauer. It is illustrated by Peter Ferguson.
Ms. Bauer is a previous Newbery Honor-winner, so I was not surprised to see how smoothly her words flowed or how well she portrayed the children's friendship.
Sneaking down to the abandoned houses changes Delsie's life. She and Todd find evidence one of the houses is occupied by a squatter; and she finds herself attached to a ghost!
This is not a scary ghost story, but it will fuel your child's imagination. Reading this story aloud would be fun, too. Why not get yourself a copy (perhaps pick up the others in the series, too) and have some fun playing with ghosts?
Happy reading.
