Review of Ghost Brother

Grade 5-9

This is a story about a little boy who loves his big brother. Twelve-year-old Wally lost his brother Jon-o in an awful accident. The accident happened when Jon-o jumped into the river trying to help a little kid form drowning. Jon-o rescued the kid, but Jon-o drowned in the water. Jon-o died like a hero, but his spirit appears so only Wally could see him.

Jon-o's spirit helped Wally with a lot of things. When Wally needed Jon-o's help with the skateboard, Jon-o taught Wally how to ride the skateboard. Wally kept falling off the board so Jon-o told Wally to go to Jon-o's friend to teach Wally.

A lot of weeks passed and Wally was starting to worry about Jon-o's spirit. Jon-o's spirit disappeared and didn't appear when Wally needed him or called him. Wally was worried because if Jon-o's spirit disappeared, then Jon-o will be in his grave forever and Wally may not see Jon-o again.

Then Wally wanted to go skateboarding from the edge of a cliff into a straight standing to show Jon-o that he would do anything to get him back. Wally promised Jon-o's spirit to come back and stay the way it was. Wally want to prove to Jon-o that he could do stuff that Jon-o did.

This is a good story about brothers who love each other. The author of this story created exciting parts to keep readers' interest, and included a lot of action that made me really want to finish this book when I started. This book is recommended for kid ten-years-old to kid fourteen-years-old or grades five through nine.

Jon-o tries to save a kid from drowning but instead they both lost their lives.His dad died of cancer.But for now his little brother ,Wally,is the man of the house.Wally and Jon-o's aunt Flo. moves in. Flo. is short for
Florience but everyone calls her Flo.His aunt Flo is very strict.Wally thinks he sees Jon-o everywhere!Jon-o was going to teach Wally how to skateboard before he died.Wally tries to teach himself but falls and scrapes his chin,arm,and cheek he tries to go strait to the bathroom so he can try to get himself bandaids on.But his aunt Flo. catches him and tells him to never skateboard again but instead he keeps getting his board out of the garage.He still dosent know how to skateboard.But some day he'll learn.His mom still didn't aprove it.THE END!!!!

Gost brothers was the best book that I have ever read. I like the part when the book tells you about when jon-o was apering in front of wally and scareing him. Aunt-flo was scared when wally tolded her that he had entered a scatboard contest.

Wally is trying to fight of the pain of having his brother die in an accident. To do so, he tries to do things his brother would do, even join a dangerous skateboard compitition.

Jon-o and Wally are brothers in this book.However Jon-o dies so does his dad. His dad had cancer and Jon-o tried to save someone from drowning but instead they both died.Now Wally is the man of thhe house.His mom has to work for a living so they let his aunt Flo. move in.Wally dosent like her!
Shes always getting him into trouble with his mom.Before his brother passed away he was going to teach Wally how to skateboard.He died to soon
Wally said"He didnt have to help that kid!"Then Jon-o started to become a ghost and said"I did have to help him it was worth it."But Wally still didnt belive it.His aunt Flo. grounded him from skateboarding.He always would sneak it out of the garage he practiced everyday.There was a big skateboarding exibition coming up so they stole some cones.The police seen them and got their numbers and called their parents.It didnt stop Wally from being in the exibition.So the next day they had to jump a big ditch.So Wally did it and fell on a girl.The girl was crying for a while so Wally just started giving skateboarding lessons for a $1.00. A bunch of people walked over there to get lessons.Some people didnt have money so they got them for free.Jon-o stoped showing up after that part of the book.So that was the whole book! THE END!!!!!!

This book was way cool. It was spiritual, interesting, and different from other books - but in a cool way. This author is way tight.

I really liked this book. I couldn't put it down. It is a very touching story that anyone will enjoy. It was so touching I cried at the end. I recommend this book to everyone, even if you haven't lost someone recently. A great book for people of all ages.
