This books is mostly about a girl who's parents never wanted children so they hid her away for most of her life in a haunted forest where she falls in love with a ghost when the girl was at a certain age where she could get married the parents heard about the prince was suppose to get married and before you know it they went to the little cottage that the girl lived in and fixed her up for the presentation to the prince the only reason they were doing this was because any one who the prince chose to marry the guardians of the girl would be dazzled with fine jewels and gold .......... This story is great and I hope anyone who likes a good ending enjoys this book as much as I do

A real good read! The love story is just short but amazing..
Full of moral lessons as well..
Love the person not because of his or her looks for it might be deceiving.
Not also because of his or her wealth for it may destroy you.
Love the person for what he or she is..
And you will find happiness.
It's that easy..

A short and sweet fairy tale. It was a creative and fun story with your classic fairy tale ending. Very good!

A short fairy tale story between Rapunzel and Sleeping Beauty told in a new way. It is all about Love and its different faces to one another. Followed by a happy ending to the very end.

For a short story, it was really good and I usually am not fond of short stories. I thought that the Girl was smart with who she chose to be with and the character development was surprisingly good,

This is a different take on the classic fairy tales. A girl's parents never wanted children so they banished their only child to the woods where she was cared for by a ghost nanny and even falls in love with a ghost, one she calls Ghost Love. When her parents discover that the prince is looking for a wife, someone who wants him and not his wealth, they immediately take their unwanted daughter from the only life she's ever known so that she can meet the prince. This is not done out of love for their daughter. It is done because of a promise from the prince to make the parents of the girl he marries extremely wealthy. The girl meets the prince and later (though she still loves her Ghost Love) she consents to marry the prince who she has slowly fallen for. Unfortunately, a conversation is overheard and the girl runs back home to her place in the woods and her Ghost Love. Only things don't go quite as she expects and not everyone (or everything) is as she always thought.

This is a nice little story. There is a lesson thrown in if the reader is looking for it. It's very short and I would have liked to have seen a bit more. Otherwise, an enjoyable, quick read.

When you find someone you think you love it might not be true love,but someone you least expected
to love could be the one.The young girl(not named) who lived in this story as an orphan fell inlove with a ghost man who lived with her in a spooky cottage in the forbidden forest.She learns to love him and care for him.One day her mean mother who put her in the cottage came and told her that she should freshen up cause they had wonderful company.It turns out the mother had contacted the king and queen.

The book was amazing for me,and I really liked how it changed feeling within a second,from happy to sad quickly. The reason why I liked it is because like Creepy stories like this one.I also liked it was because of the romance.My favorite character was the Prince because at first he spoiled her,but he learned how to love her for who she not how pretty the gifts look on her.I recomend this book to Mrs.Speigelman because I think she would love it.

i love this book. I wished it was longer. I kind of thought she would merry her ghost love. but she did not she did not want to kill her self. I am very happy she married the prince but I hope the prince behaves him self and loves her because he was very mean to her. and he is very lucky she gave him a second chance.

This is so sweet and unique, and despite the length, there are plot twists (kinda).

I wrote it, so of course I love it. I really hope others will too. It is short, and simple, but packed (I think) full of meaning.
