I was originally going to have my 9 year old daughter read this and help me on the review since it is wrote for a younger audience. I was glad that she decided she didn't have the time to read it because it was a great book and would be loved by all ages. I wasn't quite sure what to think from the title and the cover, I mean how can you babysit ghosts.
I don't want to give away any spoilers in my review so I will try my best. When I first started reading the book I was a little confused to whose point of view the book was being read from until I notices names at the tops of each chapter telling me whose point a view it was from. That is just because I am a guy and just want to get to the meat of the book and skip past the details that help....you know like reading instructions.
For a shorter book there was a fair amount of character development in the book, more than I expected at least. The chemistry between the two main characters is great, not ever knowing if they are going to end up as more than just friends. One wanting to be more and the other not sure because of the social repercussions it would have.
I was pleasantly surprised at how the babysitting aspect of the book played out and it didn't end up being to scary seeing how it is for younger kids in mid grade level. Although there was a few times that I got goosebumps reading a few parts, but not to intense.
I would highly recommend this book for anyone of all ages to read. For adults or older kids it is fairly easy to read and I didn't want to put it down after the first few chapters. I am glad I got this book for free in exchange for my honest review and opinion because it was a great read. Dad's will love it as well because they can relate to the main characters father if they have daughters of their own....:"Justin Get away from my daughter"....LOL loved it.
