This review is from: The Ghost of Fossil Glen (Ghost Mysteries) (Hardcover)

This was an awesome book by Cynthia Defelice. Our class thought this was an exciting book and it was as if Allie was on a mission.We could picture the setting in our heads, since we live near Glen's very similar to that one in the book. We did not want to stop reading as we went along.We recommend this book to everyone because we liked it. Cynthia Defelice kept us in suspense.

A Kid's Review

This review is from: The Ghost of Fossil Glen (Paperback)

I liked the book. It was exciting and you never know what's going to happen next.

Allie Nichols is eleven and is in the sixth grade. She is stuck on a ledge about 100ft. up. She hears a soothing voice and trusts it right away, and lets herself slide. She only has a few cuts and her hands were raw. She tells Karen and Pam about the voice but they think she's a liar. Her friend Dub listens intently with great interest. She hears the voice more and in one of her dreams she witnesses the first part of Lucy's death. Lucy is the ghost that is haunting her. She had died four years previously. Later she finds Lucy's diary in her new desk that once belonged to Lucy. That's when she finds out about Gag-me. (Raymond Gagne) She thinks that he had murdered Lucy. Did he really murder Lucy or was her death really an accident?

The type of person who would like this book is some one who likes mysteries, ghost stories, or both. It's a really good book.

4.0 out of 5 stars The Ghost of Fossil Glen, December 16, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: The Ghost of Fossil Glen (Ghost Mysteries) (Hardcover)

The book I am reviewing is The Ghost of Fossil Glen. It was written by Cynthia DeFelice. The Ghost of Fossil Glen is about a girl named Allie Nichols. One day a ghost starts following her around after she gets stuck on a cliff and the ghost tells her how to get down. She tries to figure out why the ghost is following her. I think this book was excellent. I think the author did really good at writing this book. The characterization was good because she gave a lot of details about the characters and I felt that I really knew the main character. I think the authors style was really good because I didn't know what was going to happen and there weren't any boring or slow parts. One of the books weakness is the setting. didn't really know where she was and what her surroundings looked like, but the author was really good with the mood because the book was suspenseful all the time. I think this book is really good, and if your interested in this kind of book, you should read it.
