BUYING ADVISORY: EL, MS – ADVISABLE
AUDIENCE APPEAL: AVERAGE
Thirteen-year old Danny Kantrowitz is supposed to get his own room when his brother Jake leaves for college. Unfortunately, his parents decide to rent out Jake’s room to visitors to their Brooklyn neighborhood in order to pay for Jake’s education. This leaves Danny with his bed in the closet, like Harry Potter. Strange things start to happen once Jake’s room is remodeled for visitors. It seems that the room is haunted. Jake and his two friends, Nat and Gus, interview people in their diverse neighborhood to try and find answers.
Love the diversity! Cool stories from other cultures as Danny tries to figure out if the haunting is an Arabian ghoul, Korean gwishin, Polish, or maybe a Jewish dybbuk. Danny has a wry sense of humor and the characters are fun.. This is a fun, non-scary ghost story that will make you want to visit Brooklyn and solve mysterious hauntings with friends. Oh, and visit a local deli.
