Far Far Away
Tom McNeal
This is a story about a boy who hears the voice of an old German ghost. Jacob Grimm. Jacob’s job is to protect Jeremy Johnson Johnson, (The boy) from the Finder of Occasions. Jeremy meets a girl named Ginger who loves adventure. Bonded by an amazing pastry called the Prince Cake, Jeremy and Ginger experience attempting to save his grandfather’s book store, getting jobs with the town baker and getting trapped in a dungeon. Jacob is with Jeremy the whole time and is continually advising him. Once Jeremy and Ginger are trapped in the dungeon, they endure starvation, audio torture, and isolation. After 27 days of being trapped with another child called Frank, Jacob must find a way to help the children.
I thought this book was a fantastic book. I loved the idea of writing it from the ghost’s perspective. The book is interesting at first, but after a plot twist, it gets to be a page turner. There is a bit of romance in the book but otherwise it is more of a horror/mystery book. I would recommend this to 8- 90 year age group. I think everyone would enjoy this book because it has a little bit of all genres. It is a two week book but fantastic.

I loved the intricacies that you described so well, Anika. And it did become pretty spooky, didn't it? I hope others will give it a try.
