Summary: BOOK REVIEW - JADE GREEN
Review: BOOK REVIEWThe book Jade Green is an amazing ghost story about an orphaned girl named Judith and her experiences at her uncle's house. There is the cheering cook, Mrs. Hastings, her forty-year-old cousin, Charles, and her stay-put uncle, Uncle Geoffrey. Judith enters the town of Whispers and she hears a mysterious scratching at the back of her closet on the first few nights of her stay. From town gossip, Judith learns about the death of a girl named Jade Green-a girl who lived in her uncle's house before Judith and died a horrible death on the attic stairs. Jade Green bled to death by cutting of her hand. As it turns out, Jade loved the color jade-green. Suddenly, Judith knows the reason she was forbidden by her uncle to bring anything green into the house. She fears that by smuggling in a small green picture frame, given to her by her mother, she has awakened the sleeping ghost of Jade Green. It turns out that during nighttime or whenever Judith is alone in the house, the ghostly hand of Jade Green comes out which scares Judith. It plays the piano, it can climb up walls, it can do anything a normal hand can do. Since this is so, Judith wonders about her life and how it can be taken away by the hand. After, a horrible flood has taken away Whispers, her rapist cousin Charles come to try to kill her. He says that all he asked for is a kiss and since she didn't give it to her, he will ask for more than that. At that point she thinks that it will be the last of her life until the ghostly hand appears once again. It climbs up her bedpost and suddenly choke Charles to death. Then she leaves the town with her beloved Zeke.
One reason why I liked the book was because it had a unique storyline. I never read a book that had ghosts that were good and that saved somebody's life. Also, The author made the reader interested by adding things at the end of the chapter that makes one want to read more.
One reason why I disliked the book was because it was a little too scary for me. Sometimes the author wrote the description so well that I actually got scared of it.
If there was something that I would do to change some part of the book, I would choose to alter the characteristics of the character. Some of the characters don't match the characteristics. For example, Charles-Judith's forty-year-old cousin shouldn't be a rapist, he should just be a normal person that doesn't have a good relationship with Judith. The author should also think of better names for the characters unless she/he purposely chose those names.

Summary: less than scary
Review: Perhaps, this book was to juvenile for my own taste, but it just did not grab me the way most of the books I read do. I think the setting took some part in this ( I myslef am not interested in the 19th Century, or anything up till 1930 really). The situation with the ghost and judith wasn't as gripping as I hoped and the ending was to choppy and wrapped in a neat little package, it didn't feel like a conclusion at all. But many parts of the book was spine-tingling, but I'm to old (16 years) for these kind of thrillers. A 3 in my book, but perhaps a 4/5 for children of 12 years and younger.

Summary: Jade Green "An Ole Miss Perspective"
Review: Phyllis Reynolds Naylor has written a very interesting story in Jade Green. Set in the late 1800's this book gives a look into the past. The settings and characters are very vivid. Most of the storyline revolves around Judith's,the main characters, interaction with a family she has never met. The story, which is not a true ghost story, is more of a mystery. Judith becomes obsessed with finding out what happened to a former resident of her uncle's house. I found this book extremely entertaining. It is a very short, but enjoyable read. However, some of the interactions between Judith and her cousin, Charles are not for young readers. This book would be most appropriate for readers ages 11-14.

Summary: Not a true ghost story.
Review: "Jade Green: A Ghost Story" was entertaining, but nothing more. If anything, very predictable. Naylor did not achieve a ghost story, but more of a mystery, with a touch of horror. The events exchanged between Judith and her cousin, Charles, may not be appropriate for preteens, in my opinion 10 years or younger. A quick and easy read - I recommend.

Summary: Jade Green
Review: The book Jade Green was great,freaky,and the book wasn't like most scary books where you know if the ghost is bad or good right away and with a human spirit wandering around, and the end came out totally unexpected. I loved it and it gave me the creeps(which is what ghost stories are supposed to do)
Its about this bold orphan girl named Judith Sparrow who comes to live with her Uncle in a spooky old house. The very peculiar thing is that her Uncle specifically tells her not to bring anything green but Judith cannot possibly leave a green frame that her mother had made with her picture in it. So she brings it.
She meets her awful cousin who has a terrible reputation(not to mention he fits it), a caring uncle, and nice cook. Hiding the frame deep in her closet, nobody knows she has something green in the house. Then she starts hearing noises. Weird scratching sounds. She believes its just rats at first, then the story leaks out ...
Meanwhile she works in a hat shop befriending the other girl who works there and finds herself a little more than friends with a boy named Zeke.
She cant bear the frights anymore so she gives the green frame to Zeke but Jade won't let her be. Why? And what does Jade want? ... Read the book, I absolutly recomend i
