A "rolling calf" is a ghost that often appears in the form of an
animal. Most people who had close encounters reported that they
first heard or detected the rolling calves by their loud chiming
and rather unnerving clanking noise. This familiar sound was made
by the long chain that they dragged along behind them. They have
large red eyes like a dragon's. Some even said that they could
breathe fire through their mouths. Some said that the rolling
calves were the spirits of evil butchers who had been cruel and
mean when they were alive. The best way, they said, to get away
from these monstrous beast was to drop various things on the
ground. This storybook was written in an exciting island-style
manner. It is about Essie's kids on the island of Jamaica and their
fourth scary and unusual encounter with a rolling calf. This is
number four of a five part series. It is targeted for children ages
six and upwards. Clarion Review JUVENILE FICTION Mystery stories
for kids have changed dramatically in the last few decades.
Characters like Encyclopedia Brown and The Boxcar Children have
been replaced by wizards, vampires, werewolves, and zombies.
Innocent sleuthing of creepy houses has been replaced by elaborate
battles with powerful supernatural figures. That's what makes a
ghost series like Essie's Kids & The Rolling Calf stand apart
from other children's series. Husband and wife authors Luke Brown
and Berthalicia Fonseca-Brown have created a collection of books
that lets kids be ... well ... kids facing ghostly circumstances.
Katerie Prior. Excerpt: The big duel was about to begin. The
screaming of the crowd came to a sudden halt. The whole arena was
quiet. Karl looked up towards the crowd one last time. He glimpsed
his family standing in the best sitting area. He could feel his
heart pounding as he thought to himself, I have to make my family
proud. This was his big opportunity to prove to Essie that he was a
special kid. "Get set," the referee said. The two finalist of the
two hundred meter race raised their backs up in the air while still
pressing their hands down on the ground. They were now in a
'get-set' position waiting for the word 'go.
