A Scary Island-Style Story (Paperback)

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.
