What a brilliant story! I loved this and so did my daughter. It's only approximately 87 pages long, but there was so much in it that I didn't want it to end. It was like a step back in time and even one of my favorite bands Creedence Clearwater Revival got a mention which made my day.

I don't normally read "ghost stories," but this one sucked me in from the first paragraph and kept me eagerly turning pages all the way through to the satisfying ending. The characters are so well drawn you feel as if you've made some new friends, the plot is engaging from beginning to end, and the writing is rich in details and seamless in execution.
The Phantom Pilot will appeal to both children and adults, especially those of us who grew up in the sixties. Reading this book made me feel as if...more

The story follows Jase and Stevie (a girl) as they try to unravel the mysterious haunting of Jase's farmhouse by the man whose plane crashed in his parent's field. Soon, the kids begin to learn a few secrets that have been quiet for years.
Although this book is geared toward kids/YA, I enjoyed it immensely. I think anyone, no matter what their age, would enjoy this story. The author writes beaut...more

Book: The Phantom Pilot
Author: Ann Swann
Genre: YA, Paranormal
Length: Novella
A trip back in time.
This is the second book I've read by ANN SWANN and I'm a huge fan. Ms. Swann has the ability to catapult the reader back in time and make us feel as though our somewhat older brains are working on a 12 year-old-level again. This is not an easy task, but she does it with such ease and finesse, and beautifully descriptive writing that it's easy for the reader to get lost in her stories. I've had such fu...more

Ann Swann did a marvelous job writing this tale. It's a sweet story that middle graders-- and even a bit younger, will enjoy. The setting--during the Vietnam War, took me back memory Lane. So, it has a story for children, and generous touches of nostalgia for the adults who read it.
Stevie Girl is a very likeable character, as is Jase. Working together, they solve a mystery full of ghosts, jelly-ball rain, and a flying 45 rpm record.
Very nice book for youngsters.
I'll read more of this series.

What a fantastic young adult novel by author Ann Swann. Her characters are believable, likable and the story truly engages you. I love when I read a book and get scared or concerned for characters and I really don't know or can't guess which way the author is going to go. That's how it is with The Phantom Pilot. There are "oh no, don't do that" moments or "watch out" moments, and I love that.

Excellent, of course. But I could be considered biased since I wrote it! Seriously, it is a good read for anyone from ten years old to 100 years old.
A wonderful book with great characters and awesome plot. Highly recommend it.
