A Deadly Fall

Haunted

by Rich Wallace

Stu hears a voice calling him late one night and leaves his house to investigate. He enters an abandoned house down the road and is scared off by a ghost. Stu and Dan go back during daylight and find nothing, but Dan says a boy died fifty years ago at the house, falling from a deck into the steep gorge below. Rumor has it he was pushed by another kid, but the death was declared an accident. That night, Stu returns to the house alone. He meets the ghost of the young boy who was pushed off the deck and the ghost of the murderer. Stu finds himself falling off the deck. The ghost saves his life.

Good story for elementary students. It was on my students summer reading list. Currently read it with them to help them with their projects and all the students liked it and went to grab their own copies.

Full color pictures on every page, with only a couple of sentences each. Geronimo Stilton-esque with various words having different font and color.

Very short. Not much happens. It ends abruptly, not sure if it continues on in the next book.

I thought this was a pretty good children's ghost story. I liked the flow of the narrative, and liked the stylized emphasis words throughout. The art was fun to look at. My only complaint is that the ending was abrupt.
