I just finished reading Who's There?, written by Stephanie Tolan. One thing I liked about it was how the author made Drew and her aunt Jocelyn so understanding to her brother Evan who stopped talking since their parent's death. The first time Jocelyn met Evan instead of making him talk she says, "Grief's an individual thing. Young or old, we cope the best we can. No one can say for anyone else how much time it takes (p.17)." In real life it wouldn't be like that.

I think the theme of this book is that no matter how well you've covered up a crime, you'll end up getting caught any way. In this book Amelia acted all nice and everybody liked her, so she thought no one would think she killed her stepson, but she was still caught. I agree with this theme because I think it's true. You can't do something bad and expect to get away with it. It relates to my life in many different ways. One is that I try not to lie so much because I usually get nervous thinking what will happen when I get caught.

I might recommend this book to someone who enjoys reading ghost stories. It was a pretty good book because it had a nice ending, but the beginning was sort of boring. The author was just listing facts about Drew and Evan. Overall the book was good because there weren't many hard words and it was easy to follow along with the story.

Who's There deserves all 5 stars and maybe more!! I started reading it at 8:30 and I didn't stop till 11:30!!! At the beginning, it's a bit slow, but when you get into it, I'm telling you, you can't put it down! The author actually gets you so absorbed in what's happening that you shiver at the scary parts and you don't notice anything outside the book. It's also scary/mystery, but I recommend it for anyone who's looking for a really good book!

I really liked this book. I read it all this weekend. It was full of suspense and a little humor. I recommend this book to people from the age of 8 to 100.

i think Who's there is a wonderful childrens book. When i read Who's there I laughed, cryed, smiled and many other things. Who's there should be nominated for a caldicot award!

This was the best ghost story I have read so far and I love them. I like finding out the history and why the ghost is there haunting. I like the way it got cold and smelled like roses every time the ghost was around in this book. I recommend it definetly.

A girl named Drew and her brother Evan were sent to their Aunt's house because their parents had died. Their Aunt's house was very big. One day Drew asked her aunt if she could look around the attic. Drew went up there and there was a rose smell and it was very cold. She found out later that a girl named Amile Broadwick, had died at a pond near this house and now was haunting it. Over all I thought it was a very good book.

This book is about a girl named Drew whose parents died in an explosion and now lives with her family that she never knew existed. When she finds out that a ghost named Amalie is haunting the house her own life is in jeopardy. - A reader in Corona Del Mar
