Brief reviews and thoughts about children's and young adult books by Minnesota authors (or illustrators), or about Minnesota. If I get the urge, it may also include ideas for using the books in the classroom. The emphasis is on books published since 1995, but don't be surprised if an oldie-but-goodie slips in occasionally.

The Red Ghost
In this easy chapter-book story (and a companion to The Blue Ghost), a young girl named Jenna finds the perfect birthday gift for her little sister at a neighbor's garage sale. It's a beautiful old doll in red velvet. But as soon as she brings it home, strange and troubling things start to happen. Is the doll haunted? It's an eerie, spooky story for young mystery fans by Marion Dane Bauer.
