Wow!

The first time i read this book i was int he 5th grade. I finished it in less than two days and every chance i got i would read it. until this day i'm still in love with this book. It's amazing how i can forget a person's name within 10 seconds but after over 10 years i still remembered the name and arthur of this book. It's a must read and a keeper.

Ah, the thrills and chills

I remember reading this book when I was in middle school. It had me so intrigued, I read the entire book in one day. This is a great book for tweens who enjoy a good thriller.

Ghosts Beneath Our Feet summary

Katie Blaine couldn't be happier about spending the summer in the tiny town of Newquay. She had a great desire to leave her hometown. She pictured a little village with a town square and a general store, a perfect place for her mother, stepbrother, and her to become a family again. As soon as she gets there, Katie knows she was definitely wrong. The town is dreary and deserted, and something eerie about the old house they are staying in. Then when she feels that nothing can get worse than that, she hears groaning noises under the floorboards of the house, and sees a ghost. This girl who Katie knows is trying to tell her something. Although Katie can not understand the girls warning, she knows that her family is in great danger. The only person that can save them is the ghost girl. What I liked about this book was that they had cliffhangers after every chapter and that really got me jumping off my seat. I also liked it when the author gave surprise places for the ghosts to appear. I usually don't like scary books, but I read this book successfully. This book has kept me going because it just kept getting better. Right when you think its over, it starts all over again. Betty Ren Wright did a terrific job in writing this book.What I disliked about this book is the fact that it was a scary book. I hate scary books; I just cannot stand them. But I really enjoyed this book. It gave me entertainment through books that I have never picked up due to the fact that I will get major nightmares. This book provided nightmares a few nights but not as bad as other books. But I wouldn't recommend this book to people who have a weakness' to ghosts or other make believe. Other wise, this book is terrific!

A verry well written book with lots of great suspense!

A good drama and it has lots of true life family happenings.
