I think this book was magical is many ways. It was very family orientated and loveable. I feel in love with the characters as it went along. The only thing that I think that could be improved is that I could have guessed what was going to happen at page 100 and I wanted a bit more of a surprise, but I loved it. I definitely would recommend it to anyone who likes family books.

THIS IS MY NEW FAVOURITE BOOK! I felt really sorry for Agatha, however it has a lovely ending. Join Aggie for her quest for the truth. Laugh, cry and jump at this amazing ghost novel by Lucy Strange.

I enjoyed reading the book as it was very exciting through the adventures that the characters had. I loved how the main characters found out who the ghost was and the truth about the past. My favourite character was Agatha as she was very brave and adventurous as she tried to find the truth even when her evil cousin was after her. I would recommend the book to my friends.

This book was amazing!!! The main plot of the story is that the main character Aggie, formerly Lady Agatha Asquith of Gosswater is told by her elder cousin Clarence, after the death of the 19th Earl of Gosswater, that she cannot stay living at the house, since it is now his property. She is also told that the couple she believed to be her parents, the 19th Earl of Gosswater and his wife, weren’t actually her real parents, and that Thomas Walters, a working man with the reputation of a thief, is her father. With this information, she moves into Thomas’s house and goes on a wild adventure to discover the truth about her identity. It is gripping, thrilling and an ultimate page turner! Would highly recommended, but mainly for over seven’s since some parts are quite scary,

I think it was really good because of all the adventures the girl has. I also like it because it is quite spooky. My favourite person was Lady Agatha because she was very kind and she was included in most of the adventures. I would recommend this to someone else and have given it to my Nana and mum to read!
