Hi all. I know, I know…the blog has been quiet. I suppose that’s because we were reading Stormbreaker in homebase and I waiting for something interesting to write about. Well, wait no further!
I finally finished reading All The Lovely Bad Ones by Mary Downing Hahn. Talk about creeeepppy!! It’s about two middle school aged kids, Travis and Corey, who aren’t allowed to go back to their summer camp because they had caused so much trouble there in the past. They end up spending the summer at their grandmother’s house. Only, their grandmother doesn’t live in a house. She lives in an inn that has been featured in all of the ghost sighting magazines. Their grandmother has never seen a ghost and doesn’t believe in them. When Travis and Corey learn that people come to the inn to see ghosts, but leave disappointed, they decide to become the ghosts and scare the guests. Unfortunately, they wake up the dead and the inn becomes infested with the spirits of the dead that use to live on the property when it was a poor farm. All the lovely bad ones are the ghosts of the kids who use to live there, and do they know how to torture the living!! Then there’s the ghost of Miss Ada, the one who used to be in charge of the kids on the poor farm, and she’s *pure* evil! How are Travis and Corey going to put all of the ghosts to rest?
All the Lovely Bad Ones is absolutely bone chilling and the perfect ghost story for the month of October. However, it is definitely NOT for the weak of heart. This story gave me nightmares! If you’re interested in the book, we have it in our school media center. If it is already checked out, you should look into other Mary Downing Hahn ghost stories. She an award winning author, and I’m positive that her other ghost stories are just as scary! Read on, my lovely bad ones…if you dare!!
