The Adventures of Anna of Waverly Manor [Kindle Edition]

I purchased this book for $.99 a while ago, thinking I would get right to reading it. After a few months, I finally managed my time and read the book during the two weeks I was internet free. This book is a children's book and is a good read for the ages presented above (7 and up).

The story starts with the death of the witch-child Anna, many years ago in a small village. She dies attempting to revenge her father's murder. The scene is not overly graphic for the ages targeted. It simply explains how Anna dies and gives her a reason to resent those who are of the "fleshy world."

The story then jumps ahead to modern day and Jackie's family. You get to know them as they find themselves moving to a small town to occupy the company-owned house, Waverly Manor. The adventures unfold from there.

This is a delightful tale for children with vivid imaginations. They will enjoy the thought of a red-headed witch flying her ghost buddies over the town at night, frightening the community. The bravery of Jackie is something they can relate to as well. The fact that Jackie has disabilities that prevent her from opening up to kids is set aside by the friendship she develops with Boo, a ghost who reminds me of Casper in some ways. (For those of you who are old enough or have access to the old cartoons.) I really enjoyed the fact that Jackie's disabilities gave her something special, the ability to see the ghosts.

This story was fun to read and I can recommend it to any of your children. It isn't so scary that they will be up at night or crawling into your bed to be protected from the ghosts, but it still gives them a delightful flavor of a ghost story.

I am not a child but as an adult I really enjoyed the book. If you purchased the book for a younger child at home; don't pass up the chance to read the book. It is a quick read the will hold your interest, and has a great plot. that is why I gave it a 5 star
