This is a really good book!I liked this book besause the auther made you feel like you were really in the book! I think this is a good book for anyone that likes scary stories.In this book a girl named Jeanie invited her friend Chad to spend the night at her aunts house. her aunts house has an actual ghost in Chad's bedroom! The ghost lived in aunt rosebuds house and he steels the poor nabors diamond bracelet.I think this book is recomened for 9 to 13 years of age.

I read this book aloud to my boys (age 9 and 13). We all enjoyed it immensely (much better than the book we read in the Goosebumps series, where all the creepy stuff had a disappointing and logical explanation, nothing supernatural at all).

In "A Ghost in the family" there were plenty of supernatural events, with a big finale in the second to the last chapter. The book also featured an interesting mystery, memorable characters and positive messages about forgiveness and tolerance.

The book is good for reading aloud, but the short chapters also make it suitable for struggling readers. The character is a 10 year old, and the author uses words like "eccentric", so I would rate the reading level as higher than in the product's description (age 4-8 is too low). There are no illustrations.

Loved the book. My son took it away so he could read it too. Great service

I thought that this was a good book. I liked how Betty Ren Wright described the book. After every chapter she leaves you with an exciting ending. My favorite part was when Chad was sleeping and the snake came after him. The main characters are Chad and Jeannie. She gave them great names. I think that this book needed to have illustrations to show the reader what was going on. This book was exciting and full of adventure. I also think that this book needed to be longer. Anyone who enjoys mysteries would like to read this book.

This book is a quality horror story for children. It is scary, but not too scary. It is not disgusting and has a story with a moral.
