Ghost Town

BOOK NAME: Ghost Town
AUTHOR: Annie Bryant

Ghost Town book coverI just finished a book called Ghost Town by Annie Bryant. It's the 11th book in the Beacon Street Girls series.

What happens is, the girls meet up with two country stars named Nik and Sam, and it turns out that they are the same age as the Beacon Street Girls. They decide to go to the ski resort that Nik and Sam are going to; Nik and Sam say they can take two of the girls. Of course, all five of the girls want to go, but since they can't, they pull straws. Isabell and Katani are the winners. Too bad for Avery, Charlotte, and Maeve - they are stuck going to the resort in an old Jeep with Charlotte's dad.

While they are traveling the Jeep breaks down, and the only place close by is an old ghost town. The girls have to sleep in a beat-up old hotel that last functioned 50 years ago. When they go to the kitchen to see if there is food, they are surprised to find that there is some and it hasn't expired. Since no one has been there in 50 years, is it possible that there's a ghost living in the hostel. It sure seems like it when Maeve stays up late and sees a mysterious figure...

Meanwhile, Isabel and Katani are wondering where the heck their friends have gone. Have they gotten lost? The two girls are having a good time with Nik and Sam but they want the rest of their group back, too.

Imagine if you were Isabel and Katani and your friends were missing. How would you feel? I'd feel terrible!

I liked this book. It was especially fun that the author gave two points of view. Also, I thought the whole concept of a ghost town was cool. I'd hate to think there was a ghost wandering around in a hotel where I slept. I recommend this to all girls; you'll like it.

I live in South Dakota and there are a lot of ghost towns in the Western part. A few miles down the road I live on is a town that is mostly a ghost town, but there are about 5 people who live there. It's falling apart.
