“Might Scare the Bajibers Out of Ya.”
YA, Paranormal and Historical
The St. Augustine Trilogy: Book I
A review placed on Goodreads and Amazon by
Suzanne Pringle from Canada
When I think of Ghost stories, I usually think of hauntings or possessions. I think scary, terrifying or even sometimes unrealistic. This book put a new spin on the whole ghost haunting – you story.
We have a boy, Jeff, with a very special gift. That gift takes him on a 2 day journey with what started out as horrifying nightmares. He shares these nightmares with his neighbor, African American girl named Carla. She too has a special gift. Her other neighbour, Lobo, has helped her with her special gifts, so the two trot over to see Lobo only to find themselves on a terrifying yet accelerating adventure.
I liked the fact that we see the Ghost, not as a devil or spiritual thing, but as a real human who happened to be caught in the afterlife. The Ghost seeks out Jeff to help him find rest and peace in the afterlife.
I would definitely let my teens read this book. It is clean, has little swearing, yet has a few small graphic scenes that might scare the Bajibers out of ya :)
Overall a great book…
