If they are any younger than 9, they may get spooked. I'd say the book could hold the interest of up to a mid-teenager, as that is the age of the characters in the story. Let me know how it goes if they read it!Sandy Nawrothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00564390728106776030noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4124681312732868654.post-60300629058186681972009-04-18T11:02:00.000-04:002009-04-18T11:02:00.000-04:00I think I have a nephew (or two) who might enjoy t...I think I have a nephew (or two) who might enjoy this, both of whom read--one reluctantly--and both of whom are glued to their igames. What age(s) (i.e., how young) do you think this is appropriate for?

I think I may have him hooked though!<br /><br />Melody - In situations like this, I always ask myself "why didn't I think of that?" The whole thing makes alot of sense, doesn't it?<br /><br />Beth - Most of it is Scooby Doo-ish, but there ARE a couple of videos that are pretty scary. I guess because the premise is that there is a ghost in the dredge (and not a serial murderer) makes it less believable for me. <br /><br />Melissa - I agree with you. Reading is a gift, and whatever works is fine with me!<br /><br />Anna - Yes, we are doing the 39 clues next. There are three books in that series so far. I don't know much about the plot, but will fill you in soon, if we can get one started!Sandy Nawrothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00564390728106776030noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4124681312732868654.post-48729224927142107472009-04-18T00:16:00.000-04:002009-04-18T00:16:00.000-04:00Sounds like an interesting book.
