From the Not-So-Private Files of Ghost Hunters I.N.K.

When 10-year-old Christina Rose and her family (her father and twin brother, Danny) move to North Klondike, California, from New York, she wasn't expecting to move into a haunted house--or have her mother's ghost follow them. So, being a somewhat eccentric child (she claims to have Ghost Radar), Christina starts a ghost club called Ghost Hunters I.N.K. (In North Klondike) and sets out to uncover the truth about the unexplained events in her new house, with the help of her neighbors: Roberto Wing, his psychic mother, and Professor Imogen Barrymore, a parapsychologist."The Very Real Ghost Book of Christina Rose" is a great book for preteens who are into the paranormal. It doesn't rely heavily on overused ideas about ghosts, such as white sheets, moaning noises, or murderous spirits. Instead, Christina documents "real" ghost stories, as told from her friends and family--with black and white illustrations--to make the book seem more believable.

The Very Real Ghost Book of Christina Rose

The Very Real Ghost Book of Christina Rose is about a girl named Christina and her twin brother Danny. Christina and Danny's mom died in a plane crash when they were only three years old. Christina, Danny, and their dad move from their old home in New York to a pink house in California. Christina thinks about ghosts a lot. Many strange things happen and Christina thinks they are being caused by ghosts. I liked this book because it involves ghosts. I also like this book because I like the characters' personalities. The message the author is trying to share is that when you have troubles, you can get over them. I think this because Christina has lots of troubles but she gives them time and she talks them out with friends and family so she can get over them.

excellent

This was such a good book, that I couldn't put it down. It was very well written, except for the very end. It stopped such abruptly that I wondered if there was another part to the story. Still, I recommend this book, and I do think that there should be a second "Very Real Ghost Book of Christina Rose".
