- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5This book is full of excitement! Good story for entire class to read.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5With only 116 pages it was a quick read, but very good. The story kept you going and the writer painted excellent images of the colonial era where the story takes place. I even felt a little chill when I got to the end of the book.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Well, it's not just historical fiction. We also have ghostly time travel, so I'm not exactly sure how to classify it. The cover led me to believe it was a children's book, but really it's a tween book. Gripping quick plot, moral dilemmas, plot issues that can hurt your brain (as with all time travel for me). I read this in a few hours one morning having no intentions of reading it, and that says something.
Recommended to grades 5-8. Slavery issues. - Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Another favorite ghost story with lots of history weaved into the storyline. It is scary with lots of anticipation about what is going to happen next. This is a real page turner.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5This book is about two boys named Kenny and Caleb. Kenny just moved into a new house in Rhode Island. There his house turns out to be one of the oldest houses in his street. His room is in the attic and it use to be a slaves room named Caleb. One day when Kenny was sleeping he heard strange sounds coming out of his closet. He opened the door to check what it was and what he say was two hands coming out from the floor. The next day he heard the sounds and he starts talking and asking the ghost questions. At the end Kenny helped Caleb get out of a memory and Caleb was rescued. After Kenny saved Caleb he never saw Caleb ever again.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Avi says that this story was told to him by one of his fans and is, as far as he knows, true. I had some doubts- it just seemed a little too fantastic, so I took a look at my own clues, and I found one glaring one in the about the author section. Avi moved to Providence a year before he supposedly did a book talk at a school there and stayed in a hotel to hear more of the story. If he lived there, rather than moving there the way his main character did, he would not have had to stay in a hotel. It is a good story, but I don't think this one is true.
