My Responses by--Mrs. Swetnam

What this book is about-- This book is about a girl named Rebecca who has to move to New Orleans to live with a family friend while her father goes on an extended business trip to China. The story takes place three years after Hurricane Katrina. Rebecca is having a hard time adjusting to her new school until she makes a new friend named Lisette. Did I mention Lisette is a ghost that lives in a cemetery and Rebecca seems to be the only person that can see her? Read //Ruined// by Paula Morris to learn more about Rebecca and the mystery that waits for her in New Orleans.

Why I like this book-- I like this book because I find the setting to be intriguing. I've always wanted to visit New Orleans. The book contains great descriptions of actual places and describes a Mardi Gras parade. I also enjoy a good ghost story which this book provides with a major twist.
