Stonewords : A Ghost Story

Rating:
Summary: What a super story.
Review: I read this book at 32, and I just loved it. I found the writer's style to be lovely, almost poetic at times. I appreciated the fact that the main character had some problems in her life (like her absent mother) but she had people to care for her, and she works through problems and comes out all right. The ghost story aspect was never used solely for scares or horror. It's a great read and at the same time, a story that stays with you. That's not something that can be said about all "ghost" books. Thank you, Ms. Conrad.

Summary: Kewl book
Review: I read this book when I was around 6 or 7 and it is still vivid in my memory more than a decade later. I can't think of another book that has had that effect on me. I would recommend it to anyone. I'm picky about what I let my nieces read, but I would definitely encourage them to read this book.

Summary: OMG I love this book!
Review: ~*I have loved this book for sooo long. I read it in elementary school when I was in about 2nd grade, I've loved it ever since then. I think I re-checked the book out from the school library a million times. Theres just something about it thats really cool. Unfortunatley, for a while, I'd forgotten what the title was for sooo many years since I left elementary school, and hadn't been able to find the book again. All I had was the recollection of the story...and just to say how good I've always thought the book was, I'm 19 now, and I've spent the eight years since I left trying to find the book with no luck. I've been looking for it even more now because I am naming my daughter after Zoe, the main character, and I want to have it for her to read when she's old enough to, so that she knows where her name comes from. THAT is how much the book touched me as a child. Anyways, I completely recommend this book without a doubt, its been a long time since I've read it, but I still know that its one of THE favorite stories of my childhood. :-D*~
