Jon didn't expect to be confronted by a pack of vengeful ghosts at his new boarding school. Now he and his friend Ella must uncover a centuries-old murder, all while haunted by terrifying spirits. When Jon summons the ghost of Knight Longspee, only one question remains-can Longspee be trusted?The Audio:
The guy AKA Elliot Hill was good but you can't tell people by there voice unless one is high pitched and the other really low. There was one voice that I knew well though and I was always happy to hear it. LONGSPEE!!!! The voice was pretty good and the Elliot played him well. In good audio book readers I can see the actions happening just behind the words. Cornelia describes stuff in detail and Elliot brings the words on the pages to life. Be sure to catch a clip of the reading on the Audible link above! My second favorite voice was Ella's. He had a pretty good voice but none compares to the voice of William Longspee. I know Longspee is a awkward name but you'll grow to jump for joy when you hear his name in the book. I finished this in one day seeing as it's like 5 hours long. Even so small it is VERY in detail and great.
The Book:
I loved it. Though readers should not be 8 and up to read this in my opinion. They cussed a few times and who wants there 8 year old listening to cuss book. Maybe 11 and up? I don't really know. Anyways I thought that the detail was perfect and what the characters did I think real people would do, if the saw a ghost that is. When i saw the cover I knew it would be a good book. I mean ghost's are cool! Knights are so awesome! I don't know right now who is on the cover maybe Longspee?? *shrugs*. My favorite character you probably already guessed..........Drumroll please..........Longspee!! he was a brave knight and he is filling his promise he could not fill when he was alive. I loved him even though in some parts Jon did not think Longspee could be trusted. My second favorite you guessed correct ELLA! I liked her because she's brave and can stand up for her self and fight ghosts her grandmother is a ghost house guide for tourists. This book is in past tense Jon his telling his story years later. That didn't bother me though. Well I think thats it for this review thanks for your time! BUT WAIT THERES MORE! If you like spooky books, Ghost books, Sad but Happy books then you'd love it just like me. Bye!
