Good

I really like cruise ships so i thought I would enjoy this, and I did. It seems a little cheesy, I admit, a 12 yr. old afraid of water. Weird right? but it was a really good book. I couldn't put it down! The ending was a little weird though.

Cabin 102

Twelve year old Dusty has a major fear of the water and is forced to go on a cruise with his family although he doesn't want to. While on the cruise he often hears cries from what he belives is coming from the cabin next door.... CABIN 102.He decides to investigate it, he comes to find that the cries are coming from a ghost indian girl named Tahani that died on the ship in 1511 in a hurricane.She cannot rest in peace until she is put back on the island in which she grew up on. When a hurricane comes Dusty helps Tahani get back on the island while he comes face to face with his fear. I think this book was a very good book and I really recommend that you should read it. It really keeps the reader involved in it until you don't want to put it down.I would definetly have to say that it is one of the best books I have ever read!

Quite invigorating!

It was a good book I have to admit, but not really my type of book...and I picked it up because my younger sister said it was totally awesome, so I took her word for it and I read it. It was really exciting in some parts and slow in others...but it was still good. I guess I am just use to faster paced books...but I really enjoyed the book although I hated the ending!
