Summary: A fun ghost story that won't scare the heck out of you.
Comment: As a kid, I used to read "Caspar the Friendly Ghost" comic books. Author Larry Gordon gives us Frank the friendly ghost in a tale of a teenage ghost who wants desparately to reestablish contact with the living. Any young computer literate reader will get a kick from the fact that Frank can finally talk to a real living person only through a computer. His friendship with Eddie, the teenager who owns the computer, leads the two of them to explore the world of the seen and the unseen.

Summary: a nonpretentious book that slyly addresses issues of spirit
Comment: Seemingly without much fanfare, this "little" book raises a bundle of big questions about the spirit world and where and how it rubs against our own earthbound existence. Without abstractly using terms like "reincarnation," "limbo," "purgatory," "esp," "telekenesis," and a whole host of other terms, Mr. Gordon creates fictional conditions that seem very plausible indeed. This is a book for anyone who is willing to conjecture about the spirit world and what implications it might hold for us. The fifteen-year-old hero, Eddie Fields, is young but highly precocious, and any reader will find him and his situation appealing. This is a ghost story you'll want to read. Be prepared to transcend the ordinary.

Summary: An entertaining first novel...
Comment: This ghostly tale builds on elements of true local legends in the Florida Panhandle. Gordon gives the reader new cause to wonder about the mysterious lights and bumps in the night as he takes the reader from the Bayou to the Computer screen in the supernatural world. Obviously written by someone excited about the subject matter.
