Book Description
Editorial Reviews
From School Library Journal
Grade 4-6 Charlie Hocking meets a bizarre old woman in an apparently abandoned house, but when he tells his family about it, they suspect he is lying. A desire to prove his innocence inspires him to investigate further. His investigations eventually lead him and his cousin Rachel to the startling conclusion that the bizarre, increasingly youthful woman is actually a ghost, bent on revenge against the townspeople of Pike River. The Pike River Phantom is a fast-paced, entertaining, and mildly scary story. The characters are believable and sympathetic, especially Charlie and his slightly arrogant yet courageous cousin Rachel. A subplot concerning Charlie's learning not to be ashamed of his ex-convict father is a little pat, but does not interfere with the main action of the story. A fine addition to Wright's other popular books for young readers. Ruth Sadasivan, Toledo-Lucas County Public Library, Ohio

This is just a fantastic book!!!!,
This review is from: The Pike River Phantom (Paperback)
I read this book about 2 years ago and when I read it, I couldn't let go of it. It's a good book, that's not only about the phantom, but how Charlie and the relationship with his dad grows. ---That's what i like most about this book.

I'm an 12 year old girl that is making a project on this book for school. It is a very cool book. I didn't know how to spell Betty's full name so I came on the internet. What a good idea eh?
