I thought this was a great book. It was exciting and made you want to keep reading.My favorite part is when they go to the clove.It is a great book for people who like adventures. Everybody should read this book.

This sweet, delightful tale begins Charbonneau's trilogy revolving around Ginny, Asher, and their family. Charbonneau's style is fast-paced and fresh, her characters fully developed, the story original and arresting, and the time and place--the Catskill Mountains in the early 1800s--well evoked. Charbonneau deftly explores issues of trust, loyalty, and multiculturalism as Asher, a Metis of French and Indian blood, and Ginny struggle to find their place in a Dutch-Yankee community. Readers see Asher and Ginny grow from children to young adults, starting a family of their own. Teachers will appreciate the book's important themes, and young readers will enjoy the ghost story woven through the fabric of this fine book

An engaging and intriguing read set in some of the most beautiful landscape this country has to offer.

First and foremost a love story, The Ghosts of Stony Clove takes place in 1809 in the Catskill Mountains of New York. Innovative style of writing; unpredictable plot. A decent time-killer.

This one begins in the year 1809. It is a story of a girl and a part indian boy who begin a shaky friendship. They hunt the ghosts of Stony Clove. The legend of the ghosts are true. The author writes her story around it. The ghost of a young girl and her white dog, haunt an old man since he caused her death many decades ago. Asher and Ginny help the ghosts find release and the man to find forgiveness. Asher then leaves to head West in an attempt to find his family among the Indians. He returns four years later to find Asher grown. The old man had died and left her his land and money. ***A real ghost story with just a bit of romance. Perfect reading!***
