Summary: Haunted by an unfamiliar voice
Review: A Review by Sarah

In this book, Janine Palmer decides to skip class with her boyfriend, Scott, to go to the beach. On their way, they get into a terrible car accident at an intersection. Janine was put into a deep coma. During her coma she sees her dead grandfather and twin sister, Lenore. They try to speak to her and tell her to wake up and go back to her family. Janine then wakes up, but she realizes that she is not alone. Her twin's voice is haunting her. Is Janine having hallucinations from the accident, or is her twin really living in her body?

I really liked the characters in this book. Janine really had a lot of personality to her. The way she was described really made her interesting to read about. There wasn't a whole lot of action in this book, but it was suspenseful. I was constantly impatient to find out what was going to happen next. It's really hard to put this book down after you get really into it. The conflicts that Janine and Lenore kept having made it seem so real. They would argue and fight like real sisters do. The descriptions of what made Janine so mad helped you to feel like you were in the character's place. It also made it seem like Lenore was life-like.

I would recommend this book to middle school children and older. It might get confusing to kids who are younger than that. You would definitely enjoy this book if you like suspense, mystery and even a little action.

Summary: Haunted Sister
Review: Haunted Sister is a book about a fifteen-year-old girl named Janine Plamer.Janine livies in a beautiful home,with a loving family,who are always there for her when needed.

But,all of that changed when Janine went behind her parent's back,and skipped school with the boy of her dreams,Scott.Her date did not turn out the way she wanted it to.Instead of going to the beach with her "loving" boyfriend, she ended up on a hospitl bed nearly dead.Janine went into heaven, not noticing that she was dead. As she was looking around, she saw a young girl standing in the dark.The girl was looking at Janine with shimmering eyes,like she had no love,no freedom. But as Janine got closer she saw it was her twin sister,Lenore.As Janie was going to say something, a voice came out. It was her grandfather,telling her to go back. Janine was convinced to go back home. As Janine left, so did her sister. Now, Lenore wants Janine to feel how death and having no family is like,so Lenore is making Janine go simply crazy.

My opinion of this book is that I think that only mature childern should read this book because of all the horror. I think this book is very good because of all the details. This book taught me a good lesson, to never skip school with a boy that can get me killed. It also taught the importance of having love for my brother's and sister's.

Summary: This book was awesome!
Review: Have you ever wondered what it was like to lose a family member or someone close to you? Janine palmer knows exactly what it is like. The Haunted Sister is a story that has many twists and many challenges arrive for the main character.
Janine Palmer lost her twin sister at the age of four. She had died in the pond at their grandfather and grandmother palmer's house. Sometimes Janine wishes she had known what it was like to have a sister, but she will never know, or will she.
One day Janine, when she was fifteen and her boyfriend Scott decides to skip school and go to the beach even though it was a rainy day. But they never made it there. They were in a terrible accident. She had died. Janine had gone to a place she could not even describe, while she was there she meet some one unexpected her sister Lenore. All the people there were saying it was not her time to be there she should go back, but she had no clue how to. Janine finally awoke from the dead. Janine discovered something was extremely wrong with her, she was now haunted by a voice or spirit crammed into her body with her. This was no ordinary voice it was Lenore's. They have to fight over one body. Is Lenore really there or is Janine simply going insane. Which twin will get the body?
The Haunted Sister is great for middle level readers and anyone who like unexpected twists. The author demonstrates great word choice, imagination, voice, and many more excellent writing qualities. Join Janine with her fight to stay in control of her own body.

Summary: Haunted Sister
Review: The novel Haunted Sister is a wonderful book by Leal Littke. Haunted Sister is a novel about a girl named Janine and her boyfriend Scott getting in a car wreck. Janine goes to this misty place and sees her sister that had died in a drowning accident (she is in a coma when she goes to the misty place). When she wakes up she figures out that Lenore her sister that had died is in her body and can control her body parts, and speak to her. After the coma the doctor says that she can go home. So Janine does, and tell's William and William's friend Anna May about Lenore and how whenever she did something bad she would call herself Lenore. After Janine looks back through time about her sister and her together she finally finds out who she is.
In Haunted Sister Janine and Lenore are very interesting characters. Janine is very wise and is known as the "good," child. Lenore is very out going and is known as the "bad," child. Both Janine and Lenore are twins. But I like Janine when Lenore is in her body. The message that the author is giving out is that treat your sister, as you would want to be treated. What I liked most about the book was when it tells what Janine is seeing after the accident? What I liked least was when Janine was in the hospital and I just think that it was very boring, and it didn't really catch my attention. I was really satisfied with the ending because it's not what you expected.
I really liked the author's style because it was very interesting how she wrote it. The author tells what the reader needs to know with the details to make it very interesting. The vocabulary is very easy. And I really don't like how Leal Littke wrote what Lenore was saying because I couldn't really tell the difference if Lenore or Janine was saying it. I think that ages 10- 14 would enjoy this book, but any higher or lower they might not enjoy it. I really recommend this book because it is very suspenseful and you don't know what will happen next.
