THE BLUE GHOST
by Marion Dane Bauer

For the upcoming Halloween season, I decided that a ghost story would be the perfect read. THE BLUE GHOST by Marion Dane Bauer was the perfect book for this upcoming day. In this story, Liz is visiting the family cabin with her grandmother. The cabin has been in the family for at least four generations and now Gran feels that she needs to sell the cabin because of her age and the location of the cabin from her home in the city. While there, Liz hears voices and a baby crying on the other side of the wall. She is also visited by a blue ghost who is urging her to walk through the wall to the voices and the crying baby. This book is a wonderful and quick read. I believe many students in second grade and up will enjoy this book. (This book was not scary but more of a mystery.) I am looking forward to reading THE GREEN GHOST and RED GHOST.
