review 1: Ghosts, time travel, and life on the farm.Aaron is new in town. He's the kid whose family just moved into the haunted old farm house. But as Aaron and his new friend, Jake, dig deeper, there's more to that old ghost story than anyone realized, and it's up to them to set the record straight on a mystery that has puzzled the community for a hundred years.Told in an direct and engaging style, Fonseca manages to convey the quiet urgency of life in the country for adventure-hungry pre-teens, and stirs it up with equal helpings of mystery and science fiction. For readers who like The Hardy Boys, The Three Investigators, or Tom Swift, this should fit right in.
review 2: Presumably, this is targeted at pre- and early-teens. Also, it appears to be the first in an open-e... morended series (assuming it sells enough to endure).If it is a series, I'd rate it higher. If not, I'd rate it lower.It spends a lot of time in establishing and setting up. The payoff at the end seems abbreviated, if not a series, or a big teaser for the series.The ending was good, it is complete, and moves quickly. I like books that end this way (complete, yet open) and don't feel sequels are needed, when done right (which I feel this is). From the write up, where I got the idea to read the book, it implies it is to be a series. The vocabulary is a bit much for early-/pre-teens occasionally, but other than that, well suited. It covers some scientific facts as part of the story, which never hurts. For an adult, it isn't a bad read either. less
