What I like in this book of Marion Dane Bauer is how she wants us to remember that every generation is connected. The title sounds scary because of the word ghost but it is really a heartwarming and family-oriented story. ( )

first chapter book. good ghost story with a touch of time travel ( )

This is a basic ghost story that is appropriate for younger readers. The mystery is a good one, but not too scary. ( )

*spoilers!*

A surprisingly good book. Yes it below my reading level, and yes I got weird looks when reading a "Stepping Stones" kid's book, but it looked interesting! And it really was. Learning who the ghost was, that was neat. Reading about Liz and Elizabeth meeting.... Very cool. But my favorite part was the end, finding the book and realizing Gran had seen the ghost too. Very good book. ( )

The Blue Ghost is a simple straight forward story about Liz (9 years old) and her grandmother working together to get the grandmothers old cabin in the woods ready to sell. As we meet Liz, she wakes in the middle of the night to find a glowing blue female figure calling her name and ultimately it is up to Liz to figure out what this ghost needs her to do! This book is ideal for readers just starting out with chapter books, its got easy to follow (and quite charming) plot twist that are very easy for beginning readers to follow, since sometimes for them it's a struggle to read the words AND comprehend the story! With The Blue Ghost, that shouldn't be an issue at all! Also this book has pictures, which will help bring the story to life for the reader! Overall, this is a great starter chapter book that gifts the reader with a charming feel good story!! ( )
