review 1: I thought this was a very intriguing and interesting story that really got you thinking about what is going to happen next. It was a great story line an I could never put the book down. I normally don't really read as fast as I read this book and I think everyone should read it because I makes you feel like you are in the story with the characters and you can really visualise the setting. It is a really good read and I defiantly recommend it to everyone, adults, teenagers or young adults.
review 2: Celeste travels to China for the first time to visit her grandmother, Por Por. She has a sad duty to perform; Celeste is carrying her mother's ashes back to her childhood home to scatter them. Celeste feels lost and insecure, and tells the reader " Before Mama died I... more felt as if I could wrap up the day and put it in my pocket... now I feel trapped, as if I'm in a giant spiderweb."Por Por frees Celeste by loving her and helping her discover her heritage, her Chinese culture, and her family's calling of ghost hunters.This was a well written, but not difficult book, good for older elementary school and middle school students. While the plot deals with supernatural elements, the main themes of the book are rooted in the reality of family relationships, and even readers who may not like fantasy books may enjoy this. Very enjoyable and quick.Nominated for the Sakura medal 2011 . less
