Decent read -- I liked the strong sense of place (Brooklyn), the diverse characters, and the ghost story. Unfortunately, I didn't really love the main character or his immediate family, so it was hard to stay engaged. Kids might like it better. ( )

This book makes me want to visit Brooklyn. That said, I've never been so if the author wasn't geographically accurate, I'd never know. I'm shoving this into the hands of all the ghost hunting kids in my world the minute I get a real copy. It's scary and suspenseful all the while being age-appropriate. I think grade school kids will love this book. ( )
