Summary: Even the author couldn't keep the story straight
Comment: This books starts off good, but even the author gets confused with all the time travel going on. The bottom line is...if Lucy and Jamie were Sara's great-grandchildren, then they could not possibly have existed at the same time that Sara's grave existed...This is only one of the several inconsistencies in the book. The book would've been much better if the author could have kept up with the story line.

Summary: From the Past Into The Future
Comment: I first ran across Ms. Barber's story in my middle school library - in 1972. I was 12 years old. Almost 30 years later some of the story's images linger yet, subtly influencing choices I make. I've finally found and purchased my very own copy of The Ghosts - and it's probably one of the best gifts I've given myself in a long time. Lucy and Jamie started me thinking about Past, Present, and Future in ways that most of the kids in my class couldn't quite grasp at that time, not to mention how to look at things from other points of view - small lessons at the time that became whole way of thinking for me even now.

I'm so happy to have found this book, to be able to bring this piece of my past into my present and hopefully into my nephew's future.

Summary: Found at last!
Comment: Our fifth-grade teacher read this book in a few chapters at a time when I was in school, and it captivated me; I've remembered details of this story when others have long slipped into obscurity. Now, twenty-three years later, I'm so glad to have found it again. It's been frustrating looking for a book called 'The Ghosts'--so general, and yet I never knew the author. You'll find this book draws you into its eerie mysteries, that you'll care about the characters and the outcome a great deal, that you'll step into the action yourself. I highly recommend it.
