The Boggart

The Boggart ***

by Susan Cooper
Book Type: Children, Fantasy
Summary: When Emily and Jess Volnik's family inherits a remote, crumbling Scottish castle, they also inherit the Boggart — an invisible, mischievous spirit who's been playing tricks on residents of Castle Keep for generations. Then the Boggart is trapped in a rolltop desk and inadvertently shipped to the Volniks' home in Toronto, where nothing will ever be the same — for the Volniks or the Boggart.

In a world that doesn't believe in magic, the Boggart's pranks wreak havoc. And even the newfound joys of peanut butter and pizza and fudge sauce eventually wear thin for the Boggart. He wants to go home — but his only hope lies in a risky and daring blend of modern technology and ancient magic.

My Review: This book was definitely a children's book. It is very simple, not a lot of action, not a lot of anything. the Boggart was kind of annoying, but I liked that he was like a little kid, just trying to have fun. I thought the main characters were cute and there were some fun side characters. But, if you want a really great series written by this same author you should read the Dark is Rising series. It is written a little bit better, there is a little bit more action, and some really great characters. :) But like I said, this book was cute, but simple. VERY simple.
