Rating:  Summary: strange but good Review: Avi has a different but interesting writing style. This book, Something Upstairs, was weird but I could not put it down. I like the way the book goes from present time back 200 years ago, during slavery. Although a little hard to follow at times, this book WILL keep you on the edge of your seat. Especially if you like ghosts and mysteries.

Rating:  Summary: My opinion of this book Review: My opinion of this book was it was good because there was a lot of action and somethings happened even though you wouldn't suspect it to happen. Like when Caleb shot the man from the mob Even though this book starts kinda boring, it sure doesn't end boring, not at all. This book is about a boy name Kenny that decides to help the ghost haunting his house. Kenny finds himself in a great adventure, traveling through time and witnessing things that most people would not witness in real life. I would recommend this book to everyone that loves adventures.
