Essie had taken her kids to the countryside to spend a few days of
the summer near Tim. They loved it and always looked forward to
this annual activity. This time, they had gone by way of the old
country bus. This is an exciting and funny ghost story for kids age
five and above. www.Buy4achild.com Clarion Review JUVENILE FICTION
Essie's children-Gena, Betty, Myrtle, Junior, Leonard, and Karl-are
enjoying a wonderful vacation and making friends with neighboring
kids in the countryside around Clear Mount, Jamaica. But behind the
idyllic background, a ghost roams the land-something called a
"rolling calf," an unnerving, clanking ghost with red eyes. It has
a spooky premise, but feels more like The Hardy Boys than Harry
Potter. Even while Karl knows he must face an unknown and possibly
dangerous adversary, he is surrounded by a family that cares for
him. This is a world where kids go five miles to the perfect place
to swim or girls spend the day jumping rope. When the adventure
does get going, the characters never lose the camaraderie of
friends, the touchstone of solid parents, or the importance of a
lesson learned. Katerie Prior EXCERPT: When it dawned on Karl that
his pursuer was rolling calf, he forgot about his damaged toe. He
was now going top speed, Carl Lewis, Asafa Powell, Yohan Blake or
Granada's Kirani James style. He was now all-out straight
sprinting. He shift into sixth gear and took off blazing the trail
for his dear life. Neither Usain Bolt nor his supposing "twice as
fast" twin brother, Insain Bolt, nor any other athlete or track and
field star could have kept up with Karl that night. (Page 52, A
Scary Island-Style Story)
