This little book had 3 stories: The Yellow Wall-Paper, The Rocking Chair, Old Water. They are all very different, but scary nevertheless. I didn’t get time to get used to the characters, because the stories are very short, but I did like their personas. The first two stories had a very strong ghost element to it, the third one had a very strong punch at the end.

Not too bad
Nor the best body story but not too bad. The acting was decent and the cinematography worked well. The storyline was interesting but the explanation for the 'ghost" and the ending were a little weak. The story moved along a little slower than I normally like but it turned out ok. It kept my attention and entertained well enough to say it's worth a watch.

You looking for an adventure book for your child or children to enjoy? Well, the series called “The Decoders” by Alba Arango is a good one. It seems to focus on helping others out but also doing what they love to do. Which is solve cases. I have rated it 4.5 Moons – (Stars).

It about three smart kids, how they have adventures. They seem to help their friends and family out. Though in this book it about “The Lady Ghost”. What is happening on the movie set? Why are they scaring people to leave? Is the ghost real or is it fake?

The plot is done well. The characters are developed well. Matt, Steve, and Jenny seem to have different skills that they use to solve mysteries. The stories and mysteries are different. They seem to find someone or a few that seem to help them out.

The adventures seem enjoyable. I enjoy each one. I love that the mysteries are entertaining but not overwhelmed. They are really good for middle graders and children. It one that children can read and fall in love with.

The author does a wonderful job of this and keeping it suitable for children. I just think the story could have been a bit more with the ghost and with movie set. It was a good read. I hope to able to read the next one. I want to read the other adventures of the decoders.

By far one of my favorites by Ms Hahn. This is one of her classic ghost stories where someone, in this case Sophia, meets their tragic end and is unable to rest.

This novel read quickly, however, I feel there was a lot of build up to a short climax. It wasn’t necessarily bad, I had just hoped for more ghost interaction with Sophia. Once she is introduced, the novel seems to fly by. This could be because I was so enthralled with it. I would like to say the rather abrupt ending left me wanting more, but I felt content with the story as a whole. I only real issue I have with this novel is that I wasn’t sure it was over until I turned the page and there was no more text. Hahn is known for providing closure in her stories, but, for once, I wasn’t 100% sure it was over.
