Book Reviews of The Blue Ghost (A Stepping Stone Book(TM))
Book Review: Decent Story
Summary: 3 Stars
The cover and title will surely grab the attention of most young readers. The chapters are short and the book contains many illustrations. All pluses in the minds of most of my students.
From a teacher's perspective, the book has some great foreshadowing. The writing is descriptive without being overly wordy. The vocabulary is perfect for the reading level. The plot twists are better than many of the ghost books I have read of similar reading level.
I looked at this book primarily as a tool to use with struggling readers. While I do think this book will be perfect for many readers for the above mentioned reasons, I am concerned about the lack of male characters. Many boys that I have worked with dislike books with central female characters. All of the major characters in this book are female, only a few male characters appear at all.
