The Ghost that Didn't Belong by Jason

Jonna Rapide had arrived at last. All year she looked forward to spending part of her summer vacation with her grandparents.


That’s the first sentence of the story, it really catches my attention, and now I know that the story happens on a summer vacation and at her grandparents place. Got to read this book, it’s so fun and when you are reading it, it really seems that you’re in the book. The suspense is great, details also. The title also catches my attention, “The ghost ship that didn’t belong.” The first night there was a weird sound that Jonna heard, she was very scared. What’s funny is that it was so detailed that also “I” was scared. When she heard it she went and took a look outside. It was the “Ghost ship”

And there is a feature that I think is also very good, each name of the chapter is good because it gives us a clue of what’s going to happen. Also Mat and Jonna found a girl that was called “Effie Price” That girl had a ship and that ship was the ghost ship. The features in this book are really good for example: The author had written a sentence about the narrator saying where and when was the story happening. And for a nother example the author started detailing the house of the family. Example: “The house of the union was a sturdy, 2 storey building made with logs, With a shake roof that came to a peak at the front, and it was very old.” So that paragraph was detailed a lot.

The author also used good words, not boring words but words that sounds professional, for example: “Jonna fallowed the others upstairs, put on their pyjamas, and “Padded” down the stairs.” So the word is padded, as you can see it’s a very good word and also a specific word. Instead of walked the author wrote padded.

The ending was good because the author put two different feelings. First of all the feelings are good and sad. The good one is that they were able to get the ghost. And the bad news is that Effie Price was dead, she drowned in cold water.

She wanted to save another girl that didn’t know how to swim and she went to save her but eventually Effie price didn’t make it to the surface.
