The Ghost in Me Giveaway Ends 8/12

in Z Archived Closed on 07/30/12

Powered by Mom Blog brings you a guest review & giveaway

from Mom Does Reviews

Fun Middle-Grade Chapter Book!

Perfect for ages 10-14

Ghost Adventures Meets Freaky Friday! I know my 10 year old can’t wait to read it!

“Myri Monaco has problems she doesn’t know how to deal with: a crush on her best friend’s boyfriend, a mother who’s dating her science teacher, and a “punishment” for a science project that lands her in auditions for the school play (the last place she wants to be). But most girls don’t have a ghost living at home who is willing to “trade places” whenever she’s needed. Will ghostly possession be an easy solution when problems collide? Or, will Myri lose everything to a ghost wanting to fulfill her own desires?”
Review by Mom Does Reviews:
Would you like to have a ghost for a best friend? Myri’s has one! Her name is Wren. Imagine the possibilities for pranks, mischief and other fun you could have. Would you let your other best friend, Roz, borrow your ghost? Well, Roz uses Wren without telling Myri.
To make matters worse, Myri’s mom is dating her science teacher. Stranger things keep happening. Myri needs and after school activity to make up for her cockroach science experiment gone wrong. Myri gets drama instead of detention. There’s another problem, Myri has never been any good at acting. Be sure to read The Ghost in Me to find out what Myri decides to do!
Shaunda keeps the reader guessing at every turn. Nothing keeps kids more entertained then when they the main character faces so many delightful dilemmas! Shaunda ‘s style remind me of Judy Blume! Her humor makes this book a fast favorite for kids ages 7 to 12.
My favorite part of the book is the cockroach experiment gone wrong. Proving that cockroaches could live without a head was bad enough, but when one headless bug landed in the prissy girl, Brittley’s hair, things keep getting funnier. Shaunda’s vivid descriptions of the bug in the hair still keep me shivering when I think about it.
My son and I read chapter books before bed every night. Even though The Ghost in Me has a girl for the main character, my son loved it. I know it’s a hit when he keeps asking for us to read ONE more chapter. In fact, I took the book with me to work so I could finish reading it. It was so fun, I had to find out what Myri would do! I highly recommend The Ghost in Me for kids and adults alike!

About Powered by Mom

I’m Michelle aka Powered by Mom. I’m married with one daughter, my hubby was my high school sweetheart, our two dogs Nyx and Cleo and our cat Oliver. As you can see we’re a family of animal lovers. We love to travel when we can, try different food and activities all over the world and enjoy being together. My passions are writing, travelling, creating new recipes, encouraging people to adopt not shop and just to enjoy life while we can.

As an animal lover I also volunteer with a rescue organization called Three Little Pitties All Breed Rescue. I'm part of the cat program Three Little Kitties Saving Kitties which tries to save as many cats as possible in Houston, Texas which has a huge overpopulation fo cats and they euthanize far too many cats (and dogs) we want to change that. Please check out their Facebook page and consider donating https://www.facebook.com/ThreeLittlePittiesRescueSavingKitties

Oh yes it's getting to be that time of the year wh Oh yes it's getting to be that time of the year where we'll start spending more time outside enjoying the weather, grilling and the longer days of light and so much more. ☀️⛱ SponsoredI may have gotten a head start as we went camping for the first time this year and this really reminded me of how I love to sit outside and enjoy a good campfire or one in our firepit in our backyard and enjoying the quiet of the evening and stars twinkling in the night sky. 🌠⭐It also brings up memories of good food, grilled food my favourite kind with all those fun and delicious marinades, rubs and sauces to dress up and enhance the flavour of your food. Stay tuned for my upcoming recipe that has a delicious and creamy lemon sauce with chicken cooked in a #castiron pan. 🍋🍳I've teamed up with @ChickenDotCA to give one lucky winner an Outdoor Wood Burning Round Cooking Pit for the month of April.

Happy #Easter everyone. Hubby & I went camping and Happy #Easter everyone. Hubby & I went camping and just got back. We took both of our dogs with us and we think we broke them 😆 #CleoTheDog & #NyxTheDog were both soooo tired by around 8:30pm each night that they would go to our trailer door & look at ys waiting to be let in 😁 while we continued to enjoy our campfire 🔥It was great to unplug there is no cell service let alone internet where we go so we enjoyed the beautiful scenery. We are lucky to live in #BeautifulBC. Swipe to see our 📷  more beautiful nature photos to come soon. 🌿🌼#camping #PNW #nature #naturephotography #pnwwonderland #pnwlife #forest #greatoutdoors #campfire #Chilliwack  #chilliwackbc  #FraserValley
