I was enjoying it but the ending took me off guard. I loved the narrator that we had and how focused on the history of the islands it was. It did have some pacing issues but it was a fun story. I wish the kids character may have been more focused in the story. But the ending I def did not see coming and really eventually want to re-read this book and see how that knowledge effect the story. It was def. a creepier read but one the middle grade students would enjoy. I would def.read more by this autor in the future. Literary Merit: Good Characterization: Good Recommended: optional purchase Level: Middle School, gr. 5-9 The ghosts of Nantucket have joined forces with a group of kids to help them alert the locals to the fact that newcomers are destroying the island's history by renovating or demolishing historic homes. The ghosts will perish if they can't live in their old houses, so they are on a mission to stop the renovations. In spite of the fact that it is a story mainly told by ghosts, this isn't a ghost story that many middle grade readers will enjoy. It is confusing and rambling at times, and is basically a preservation story geared toward adults. There is a twist at the ending that I absolutely loved, which bumped up my rating from a 2 to a 3. It almost made me want to re-read the book with the twist in mind. Almost, but not quite. sin reseñas | añadir una reseña
