Book Overview

Only Alexander knows why the barn is haunted---and by what When Alexander notices an eerie light coming out of the barn, . He thinks his friend Blossom Culp is trying to spook him. But strange things really are happening there. Slimy footprints appear out of nowhere, and whimpering sounds float down from the hayloft. And when he ventures into the barn in the dark of night, his breath catches in his throat. Suddenly Blossom's words come back to him: "You can make contact with the Unseen...." Now there's a girl ghost standing right in front of him, telling him of great danger ahead. But is there time for Alexander to act on her warning? Blossom Culp #1 "Peck's blending of mystery and humor makes an unusual and entertaining ghost story." --Booklist, starred review This description may be from another edition of this product.

*SPOOKY* STORY From A Simpler Time.

I wanted to read Richard Peck's THE GHOST BELONGED TO ME because I heard this was the book that Disney based the TV movie--(Child of Glass [VHS]--on.

Blast from the Past

I'm 37 yrs old and just recently rediscoverd this book at a used book store...I first read it when I was 12 and the movie too....The Child of Glass from Disney. I have to say it's one of the best from my childhood and enjoyed reading it again as a grown woman. I recommend it to all ages.

A spooky yet very cool book

I found this book very interesting and the characters vivid and one's I'd like to read more about. It has a very good plot with some interesting twists turns and many pieces to the puzzle. I have just finished it and I am already going to go after the rest of the Blossom Culp series. I highly recommend this book to almost anybody.
