The book Ghost Sitter is a good book it is mysterious. It is about a girl named Charlotte who moves into a new house she thinks her life is great because she has her own room and neighborhood pool and there's even a Fouth of July block party coming up soon. The only bad thing is she has to watch her little brother Brandon! She meets one of her neighbors Shannon who tells her that the house is haunted, and what she has seen in that house but Charlotte doesn't belive her. But when her brother who is usually a pain starts acting good all of the sudden and is asking for his friend Suzie. Things get weird. This is a good book.It will get you to the tip of your chair woundering what's ganna happen next! This is an exciting book.

when charlotte moves into her new house, she hears about a ghost, but doesn't believe. Soon, that changes. The ghost, Susie, doesn't realize she's dead and doesn't wonder long about what happened to her - she waits until the day her parents and little sister Gloria, who moved out after Susie's death, come back. In the meantime, she plays with babies and toddlers, the only people who can see her, as family after family moves in and out of her house. Then Charlotte (whose little brother Brandon is a playmate of Susie's), with the help of her new friend Shannon, manages to talk to Susie, and the two girls try to find out what happened to Susie, and figure out a way to help her.
What made this book so good was Charlotte's thoughts. In the process of helping Susie, she wonders about death and what happens, feels sad about all the people in the cemetery who have been forgotten. Charlotte isn't just the girl who helps Susie, she's also a growing ten-year-old with no previous experieces with death, who thinks and wonders. Charlotte makes the book, not just a good story, but REAL.

This book is mainly about a little girl named Susie who died on the fourth of July when she was about twelve years old. Then her parents and her little sister, Gloria, moved away. Gloria could see Susie's ghost and told her that she would come back one day. Susie promised to stay at the house til she came back. So for years Susie played with all the children five and under waiting for Gloria. Nobody older then five could see her unless she concentrated really hard.

The author of this book, Peni R. Griffin, uses a lot of dialogue and gets to the point really fast. She doesn't have very many discriptions and the ones that she does put in aren't in very much depth so I couldn't feel like I was in the book very much. I like this book a lot. It was really interesting right from the start. I chose to read it because my sister read it and she said it was really good and I needed a book for school. I think the audience intended for it was sixth and seventh graders though. It was a really easy read and they get sidetracked really easy and this book is just always interesting. It is a mystery in a way if you like to read those. I would definitely recommend this book though. It has a good ending and a great beginning. It's not a slow moving book that you have to get into and it keeps going like that. All people will enjoy it, but if your looking for a challenging reading this isn't what you should be reading.

The Ghost Sitter, by Peni R. Griffin, is about
a girl named Susie Miller. Susie dies from a firework accident. After awhile, she turns into a ghost. She promises her sister, Gloria, she will never leave the house. Gloria's the only one that can see her because she's little. Then about 50 years later, a girl moves into the house. Can she help Susie find her parents?

I like that it is a mix of realistic fiction and fantasy. I was jumping out of my seat at all of the surprises there were. I loved it! The author didn't need to do anything better. She explained everything perfectly! I had a great time reading it.

This book also taught me an important lesson. It is you can help people at all times. In the story, Charlotte was trying to help a friend find her parents and they developed a great friendship. It helped me learn this lesson and it can help you too.

This book is about a girl named Susie and she loves to babysit children. Every family that moves into her house doesn't seem to notice her, except for the children. This book gets really interesting. I loved it, but I think it could of been better. :>)

Hi I'm here to tell you about the book The Ghost Sitter. I think this is a good book because it's about two girls named Charlotte and Shannon. Charlotte just moved in and soon became friends with Shannon. They soon discover that Charlotte's house is haunted by a ghost named Sparkler Susie. The two girls have to help her move on to the light. So Charlotte and Shannon have to search and work very hard to find Susie's sister.
The main characters in this story are Charlotte, Shannon, Brandon and Susie. But my favorite is Susie because she is a ghost and she can do all this cool stuff like being invisible and going through walls. Charlotte moved in to an old house in a neighborhood with a lot of traditions and one of them is having one of the best block parties on the Fourth of July.
The author is Peni R. Griffin who also wrote the book Switching Well. I hope you read and like the book The Ghost Sitter.
