Summary: Spook in the house!
Comment: What could possibly be scarier than your brother or sister ruining your school project? I can't think of anything except coming home to find our that your project has been ruined by a GHOST! This is just what happened to Ted when he left his Luxemburg project alone at home for a few hours. But why would a ghost want to bother Ted or destroy his project for that matter? Something that happened at Ted's house long ago is not only back to haunt him, but his sister as well. It is Ted's job to find out who or what was haunting him, his sister, and their house. This novel keeps your attention from the first to the last page. It provides both suspense and a learning experience for the reader. Each chapter is full of significant historical events which would motivate students to research why those events are so important. It could also help spur classroom discussions or teaching lessons in many different subject areas. This book would be appropriate for middle school aged students. I encourage each person to read this book both for the spook and for the learning experience!

Summary: A book that your students will not put down
Comment: This book follows an adventure through time with a boy named Ted. He is a normal twelve-year old boy, who just wants his little sister to leave him alone. Vicki, his five-year old sister is just the right age to make up imaginary friends. At first, the family tries to accommodate Vicki's imaginary friend, Marella, but Vicki always seems to take it one step further. Ted is the first in his family to start noticing weird things happening and tries to convince his family that the house is haunted. After a cousin confirms Ted's suspicions of ghosts, he takes it upon himself to get them out of the house. Ted's journey starts with an old journal that tells about the Underground Railroad. This book is an example of historical fiction. The book would work well in a literary comparison lesson for students about the differences between fiction and historical fiction. Teach your students about the Civil War, the Underground Railroad, and why we value freedom. Let them take an adventure of their own that might change the way they look at life.

Summary: First V.V.V book I read...
Comment: This was the first of the many books I've read by VVV. Obiously it was great! Suspenseful from begginning to end! But, now that I've read SO many of her books, I don't consider this one to be one of the best. It was still a great book, though. I was scared to go to bed, but once I was done reading the book it wasn't so scary...
