A review by graypeape
The Ghost Road by Charis Cotter

I wish I could go back in time and give my 10 year old self this book- kid me would've loved it! The descriptions of Newfoundland make me want to visit, the local legends and customs are charming, and all the secrets and spooky goings-on were fun and appealing to me now, they definitely would've appealed to me as a child. The author does a wonderful job keeping the tension going at a steady pace. My only complaint is there were several things left up in the air at the end- I would've liked to have heard the girls' fathers side of the story, especially Ruth's father's story. I also would've liked to find out more about Eldred's past and what happened to him. Overall, though, a very good spooky story for readers about 9/10 and up, including adults!
