Canterville Ghost was a spooky story about a family that was being cursed by a troublesome ghost. My favourite part of story is when the Canterville Ghost got hit by a pillow, it made me laugh. I liked the ending as the girl helped the ghost to rest.

Funny, the ghost couldn't scars the twins.

It was good but not the best I have read. Good for small readers. My favourite part is that the ghost gets scared of the twins tricks and how the ghost finally gets some peace.

I liked Virginia the best because she helped Sir Simon rest in peace. I also like Mrs.Umney because I like the way she just fell in the thunder-storm. I like the story because of the amazing details, especially at the end with the grave. Again, yes , I would recommend someone to read it, but I would warn then about nightmares they can have.

I really liked the way they hunted each other’s. Mrs. Otis was disappearing and revealed herself in the end of the book.

Baron Adolpho Lanzarote 27.08.2020
I liked the ghost when he dressed up with a rusty dagger or took his head off.
Marshal Cynthia Rollerskate 21.08.2020
I didn't like the ghost because he was not really a ghost.
Professor Cello Piano-key 31.07.2020
I wonder why he didn’t just take his chains off. I liked when the twins did pranks on Sir Simon.
