The Ghost Prison by Scott M. Fischer, Joseph Delaney
4.0
I found this small book in the YA section and thought it was in the wrong place. But it is recommended for 12 years old and up. It is only 99 pages and there are a lot of pictures. I decided to read it and find out why it is considered YA.
Here are a few notes why it is probably in the YA section:
page 4 - "...bloody scared."
page 18 - a character talks about how they drowned a witch. She wasn't a witch and they found that out after she was drowned.
page 29 - a character talks about how the ghosts in the prison have violently killed prisoners.
page 35 - "I swear to God."
page 36 - "Something straight from hell."
I suggest that parents read the book first and decide if their kid is mature enough to read this book. It's a fun little book about an orphan boy who gets a job at a haunted prison and works the night shift.
