5.0 out of 5 stars The BEST middle-school "ghost story" ever!
Reviewed in the United States on July 22, 2008
Verified Purchase
This is THE book I remember most from my junior high school years. I remember staying up several nights reading it, unable to put it down and go to bed. The characters are so wonderful, the storytelling so rich, and the story itself is so thrilling and compelling. I'll never forget the delicious experience of reading this book for the first time. (Although, I'll admit I'm not really crazy about this latest cover design-- pretty garish.)
I'm now a junior high school English teacher and have tried unsuccessfully to order a set of this novel for my own classes, but it's no longer available, and I think that's such a shame! This should be a classic in every adolescent's library! WHAT CAN WE DO TO GET A RE-PRINTING OF THIS NOVEL?!

4.0 out of 5 stars Loved this book as a kid
Reviewed in the United States on April 15, 2023

This is a great book. I would have preferred the original white cover but that version was way too expensive. I'm looking forward to re-reading it.

The packaging was a little too tight. I ended up cutting into the book on the edge getting it out of the packaging. Just a little bit of damage on the edge, so not a huge problem. Seller was prompt in delivery and the price was fair.

I bought it for myself but it's probably for kids about 10 years old (maybe?) I'm not sure what kids are reading at what age.

Ms. Barber's story has stayed with me since I was a child in the 70's and borrowed it from my elementary school library. When my daughter was born in 2002 I went on line to find a copy and have waited until just now to share it with her. She loved it as much as I did and when I read it again I wasn't the slightest bit disappointed. It's an enduring tale. Thank you Ms. Barber!

5.0 out of 5 stars The Amazing Mr Blunden
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on April 30, 2015

Great story for children and adults alike. The only negative comment I can give is in the title of the book, as this could put off parents allowing their children too read it. The people who made the excellent movie must have thought same and renamed it 'The Amazing Mr Blunden'.

I had been after this book for years after watching the delightful film 'The Amazing Mr. Blunden'. The book didn't disappoint in any way. A charming tale, quite gripping in places.
