Summary: A gUeSsInG bOoK
Review: Gwen's Great Aunt Mary has just died and she has no mother or father because they died in a car crash five years before. She is now a foster child and her brother and his wife want nothing to do with her so they send her to the Mercy family. She is surprised to find she is very comfortable around them, especially Tessie. A girl frightens her when she first arrives because she is sitting at Tessie's window looking down at them, and Dena, her foster mom, said nothing about another girl in the family. Dena said the only family members were her, Tessie, Jason, and Mr. Mercy. She turns around and notices that Tessie has seen the girl too. It turns out this girl, Rose, is a ghost and is linked to a horrible summer that involved a murder where Dena spent that summer when she was a little girl. Rose won't leave her alone, and she is horrified to know that two other desperate men haunt the house. Mr. Mercy says that she will have to leave if she does not stop talking about these ghosts because it is upsetting Dena and the rest of the family. She decides she will not talk about Rose and the two men anymore, but she will not give up on trying to figure out what Rose wants, and she will not stop prying into Dena's past until she figures out the truth about what happened that horrible summer.

Summary: I reccomend this book to ages 8 and up.
Review: I like this book because it is a good mystery and suspenseful. No one I knew had read this book so I wasn't sure if it was a good book. Once I got to the third chapter, I couldn't set it down. The main character is Gwen. Her parents just died in a car accident and her aunt Mary just died. Gwen's brother just married a girl named Liz. Liz doesn't want Gwen to live with them so Gwen goes to a foster home called Mercy Manor. At Mercy Manor she sees a ghost girl. The ghost girl leaves roses in Gwen's bedroom. If you want to find out who the ghost girl is and what connection she has to Mercy Manor you'll have to read the book. Mercy Manor is a 172 pages. It is a 5th grade level book and for ages 8-12. Even though it's reccomended for ages 8 and up.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: The Ghost of Mercy Manor
Review: The book The Ghost of Mercy Manor is a great book. The protagonist is Gwen and the conflict is she keeps seeing ghost and she doesn't understand what they are trying to tell her. It all started when Gwen had to live with a different family because her brother got married and his wife didn't like Gwen, and it never what happened to her parents. So she meets this family and keeps seeing this ghost named Rose who always puts a rose in Gwen's room to tell when she is going to come out. If the book sounds interesting you can read it and see what happens. The last thing is the part I liked. My favorite part was when Gwen first saw the ghost.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: An exciting mystery beyond your imagination!
Review: The Ghosts of Mercey Manor was a wounderful book. I love to read about ghost stories. They are so exciting I can never put them down. The story was about a girl named Gwen who just moved into a new house with her foster parents. She kept seeing this ghost girl with long golden hair, and she was scared to go to sleep because she thought that it would come out and haunt her. Nobody in her family believed her and everybody thought she was insane, except one night her foster brother Jason saw the ghost girl and then Gwen and Jason convinced their parents that there was a ghost girl. Gwen finally got over being scared, and nobody thought she was insane anymore. The only part that I didn't like about the book was that it ended really quickly.
