My grade three or four teacher read this to our class years ago and I remember loving it. It is a cute little story with enough suspense to keep you interested but not enough to give a kid nightmares lol. It was fun to read it again 25ish years later. ( ) When their aunt buys an old riverfront inn, Chris and Amy are happy to spend the summer helping her fix it up and explore the area. Far out in the river is an island that had been created by a long-ago earthquake and locals refuse to go to it. There's rumors of treasure, but there's also big scary ghosts (see cover) who threaten anyone who comes near with "VENGEANCE!". There's a tale of woe here behind the ghost man's bravado, which perhaps makes the story more interesting for adults then for children. sin reseñas | añadir una reseña

On an island in the Mississippi River, a ghost and his dog stand guard When their aunt buys an old, run-down inn on the banks of the Mississippi, Chris and Amy Holt go south to help her fix up the place. They lend helping hands during the day, but at night, they wonder about the island in the middle of the river--a mysterious place where the townsfolk will not set foot. The island was created by an earthquake which shook the ground so fiercely that the river ran backwards, destroying the house of a bitter old miser named Joshua Hanover, and carrying away his precious hoard of silver coins. And according to legend, Hanover's ghost still roams the island, his phantom dog, Shadow, at his side, searching eternally for his lost treasure. Unable to resist the treasure's lure, Chris and Amy journey to the island to find out if the stories are true. There they find danger, and a mystery that is far more frightening than they could have ever imagined. No se han encontrado descripciones de biblioteca. |
