Beware the Bell Witch

Haunted States Of America

by Thomas Kingsley Troupe

Miles Watley is pretty sure hes going to die of boredom when his family moves to the small town of Adams, Tennessee. The only thing that is remotely interesting to him is the Bell Witch Cave that local lore claims is haunted. While exploring the cave, he and his brother, Ryder, spot a young girl who simply vanishes into the darkness. Shortly after, weird, ghostly things start happening in his familys new house, the most perplexing of which is Ryders strange behavior and his dads mysterious illness. It becomes clear that the Watleys have something the ghost wants. It isnt their house, is it?

A fun little ghost story for kids. The Bell Witch is one of my favorite American legends so it was neat to see a new story with that at the center. I wish it was a bit longer, but I'm not exactly the target audience, obviously.

Some books leave a lasting impression on you, others you don't remember the next day, this falls in the latter camp for me, nothing much that I remember of this reviewing it some time later.

This is a spooky middle grade series that I love. I wish it was a thing when I was a kid.

Il primo che avevo letto di questo autore (anche se forse non era il primo della serie) su Robert the Doll mi era piaciuto di più. Più spaventoso e più avvincente.
Anche di questo conosco il luogo grazie a Ghost Adventures, ma devo dire che la storia non è avvincente e mi sono annoiata a sufficienza, nonostante la brevità.
