4/4⭐️
I have read this book several times since the early 1980s (when I first read it) and it never fails to entertain me. I hate that I lost my childhood copy (which had the best cover IMHO).

It was also pretty good for the #HauntedShelf #WordSearch I found four more words for a total of 9.

“I was burdened by the litter of centuries, left around to be stared at by us modern strangers. I wondered what would be left to speak for our twentieth century after all its bombs and wars.”

Pretty deep for a book with a 5.7 reading level.

I was inspired by @AnnCrystal to make a bookmark for the #HauntedShelf #WordSearch. I think I was bound to find this word considering the book 😂

TEArificbooks That is awesome! I‘m down to 10 words so I just wrote them on an index card to make into a bookmark. I like your better. 2mo
PuddleJumper That's a great idea! 2mo
Sace @TEArificbooks I figured since I was just starting I might as well make a bookmark. Plus it can be a souvenir from HauntedShelf. 2mo

2nd in a series about the intrepid Blossom Culp , a young girl who has “Second Sight” and some ghostly adventures. Great characters and premise set in US and England in early 20th century.

How did I just learn about the Blossom Culp series NOW? If it wasn‘t labeled as a middle grade/YA, I would have thought it general historical paranormal fiction. This just has a far more literary vibe than the YA of today. (I adore contemporary YA, but this feels so different). Blossom has SUCH a strong narrative voice. The teens act like real teens. Also love the history brought in. This series is a treasure. About to devour the next book.

With Blossom as the narrator, (unlike the first book which was from Alexander‘s POV), we get to see what a jerk of a teenage boy Alexander really is 😂
