Book Reviews of The Ghost Belonged to Me
Book Review: *SPOOKY* STORY From A Simpler Time.
Summary: 5 Stars
I wanted to read Richard Peck's THE GHOST BELONGED TO ME because I heard this was the book that Disney based the TV movie--(Child of Glass [VHS]--on.
This book was fun to read and had a lot of scary (not too scary) moments in it as teenager Alexander Armsworth finds a ghost haunting his family's barn. The ghost, a girl his age but from a different time, tells him about a disaster that's about to happen and Alexander is able to save some town people from imminent death because of the warning. He becomes a mini-celebrity, which he doesn't like, and then he has to figure out how to help the ghost rest in peace. And he gets help along the way from his neighbor, Blossom Culp, who is like the poor man's Nancy Drew.
Anyway, the story is a little different from the movie (from what I remember) but it's enjoyable none-the-less. I really like how the story takes place in the early part of the 1900s, so no cell phones or computers or video games, and the characters talk with a southern drawl.
Fun and easy read about a different time and place, where kids can be kids.
