BOO

Review by griswold

Danny was promised his own room when his brother goes to college, but when the day finally comes, his parents prepare to rent out the room instead. At the same time, freaky things are happening. He believes his apartment is haunted. His two friends help him figure out who the ghost is and what they want. I love this book and I hope you love it, too!

A Very Exciting Read

Review by EMW123

I enjoyed this book so much that I read it in the day it arrived. It was scary throughout but it made sense, oddly. I loved the characters parts in solving the mystery. I loved the suspense building but felt that there was a lot going on in one moment it was hard to focus on the main topic of the book. It must of took a lot of planning to specifically figure out how to place the ghost in. The book reminded me of Harry Potter and Never After that are two book series that tie the mystery and adventure to our modern day life like the book. Over all it was an excellent book!

When 13-year-old Danny Kantrowitz’s older brother finally goes to college, Danny can’t wait to move into the bigger bedroom. Unfortunately, his parents decide to rent the room out on AirHotel to make a little extra money to cover the cost of college. Soon, unexplained things start happening in the room, including sudden gusts of cold air, a strange face appearing at the window, and lights turning on in the middle of the night. Danny’s parents assume he’s just having a hard time adjusting to the new arrangements, but his best friends and their grandparents believe him and are determined to help him solve the mystery of the odd occurrences in the guest bedroom.
