Ghosts I Have Been Richard Peck Books
I've read this book too many times to count. Blossom has such a unique voice and the charm she brings to the narrative is one of its major selling points. In comparison to the prequel to this book, The Ghost That Belonged To Me,I felt Blossom is a much stronger narrator than Alexander and that Alexander gets more opportunities to shine here in Blossom's story than Blossom got to shine in Alexander's. Also anyone interested in the Titanic playing a part in a larger story will find this to be a fun read. I picked this book up in middle school after a unit on the Titanic and like I said before, I've reread it many many times. It's just as fun at 24 as it was at 13.Tags : Amazon.com: Ghosts I Have Been (9780141310961): Richard Peck: Books,Richard Peck,Ghosts I Have Been,Puffin Books,0141310960,Historical - General,Humorous - General,Ghost stories,Ghosts,Supernatural,Supernatural;Fiction.,Children's Teenage fiction & true stories,Children's BooksAges 9-12 Fiction,Children: Young Adult (Gr. 7-9),Fiction,General,JUVENILE,JUVENILE FICTION General,JUVENILE FICTION Historical United States 20th Century,JUVENILE FICTION Lifestyles Country Life,JUVENILE FICTION Paranormal, Occult & Supernatural,Juvenile Fiction,Juvenile Grades 7-9 Ages 12-14,YOUNG ADULT FICTION,YOUNG ADULT FICTION Historical General,YOUNG ADULT FICTION Humorous General,historical fiction for children 9-12; books for kids age 9 12; chapter books for kids age 8-10; books for boys age 9 12; kids books ages 9-12; 3rd grade reading books; chapter books for kids age 9-12; books for girls age 9 12; 4th grade reading books; books for 8 year old girls; books for 10 year old boys; books for 8 year old boys; books for 10 year old girls; 4th grade books; 5th grade books; books for 9 year old girls; 5th grade reading books; halloween books for kids; books for 12 year old girls,historical fiction for children 9-12;ghosts;kids books ages 9-12;ghost stories;realistic fiction;books for 10 year old girls;books for kids age 9 12;chapter books for kids age 9-12;5th grade books;halloween;chapter books for kids age 8-10;4th grade reading books;5th grade reading books;books for boys age 9 12;books for 10 year old boys;girls books ages 9-12;books for 11 year old girls;books for 12 year old girls;scary stories;4th grade books;books for 8 year old boys;books for 9 year old boys,General,JUVENILE FICTION General,JUVENILE FICTION Historical United States 20th Century,JUVENILE FICTION Lifestyles Country Life,JUVENILE FICTION Paranormal, Occult & Supernatural,YOUNG ADULT FICTION Historical General,YOUNG ADULT FICTION Humorous General,Children's BooksAges 9-12 Fiction,Fiction,YOUNG ADULT FICTION,Children: Grades 4-6,Children: Young Adult (Gr. 7-9),Children's Teenage fiction & true stories
Ghosts I Have Been Richard Peck Books Reviews
This is one of those books I read a long time ago as a teen and totally enjoyed it. It is light, humorous, and sometimes even scary. I like the character of Blossom Culp. An American girl with Second Sight. We get ghosts, con artists, and the Titanic in the novel. Even in a reread I found it enjoyable. Maybe because it can be light and sometimes serious, a well balanced story and well crafted. I salute Richard Peck and his skill as an author.
I read this as a kid. But don't get me wrong, it's a great read for an adult too! I bought it after all these years because I remembered it being such a good book. I'd forgotten about most of the plot and found myself enjoying it this time as much as before. Got me thinking about the idea of parallel universe and such. Like how do ghosts see us if we are in their time, do we look like ghosts to them like they do in our time? Etc. It's a great fiction story so keep an open mind and you'll love it! This is one of few books that stayed with me for 25 years!
I read this years ago when I was a teen and I recently gifted it to a girl tutor. She is enjoying it as much as I did! )
I remember the made for t.v movies the Disney company put out in the 70's. Child of Glass-excellent movie-even by today standars-in my dvd collection. When I first saw it, I wasn't aware it was based on Richard Peck's book The Ghost Belongs to me.After getting the dvd of Child for x-mas. I looked him up and found out about the book series. I read ghost I have been. It's a great and insightful look into the supernatural-even for a kids book. I would highly suggest get one for yourself and the child in your life.
When poor, small-town Blossom decides to put paid to a band of teenage pranksters bent on Halloween mischief, she sets in motion a chain of events that will ultimately lead her and her friends across the sea to London, to Madam Trussaud 's Wax Museum and a Royal Drawing Room.
Her adventures on the way and the characters she encounters range from the hilariously funny to the sublimely tragic, all met with Blossom Culp's particular blend of honesty, level-headed determination and... Second Sight.
I can't wait to read Richard Peck's other books featuring Blossom Culp... and I'm over 60!
Although technically not a sequel to The Ghost Belonged to Me, GHOSTS I HAVE BEEN has enough elements in it to tie the two together.
Blossom Culp (who was the co-star in "The Ghost Belonged To Me"), a teenage outcast who is very poor and has an odd mother that should be arrested for child neglect, is the one who tells the story this time around. Anyway, Blossom pretends to have the gift of psychic powers and before you know it, it comes true. She ends up becoming a local celebrity after communicating with the dead and helping them find their resting place, which catches the eye of the Queen Of England who then invites Blossom for a visit. She's able to make the trip with the help of a rich and eccentric old woman and Alexander tags along.
Here's another exciting tale from author Richard Peck that includes ghosts, con-artists, and historical events--all the while taking place in the early 1900s--that should keep kids of all ages glued to the book to the very end. I enjoyed the adventure to England, the trance that takes Blossom back to the sinking of the Titanic, and the funny and ironic observations that she makes about people and life.
If you enjoy reading children's books or are looking for some that are exciting but not too scary for the kids, I highly recommend this one.
Blossom Culp, the poor fortune-teller's daughter from The Ghost Belonged to Me, has her own story now, and I couldn't be happier about it. Her pragmatic, down-to-earth, do-what-you've-got-to philosophy combined with her loyalty, her ambition, and her sense of justice made her a force to be reckoned with even before she developed her own psychic powers. Now bullies, con men, queens, and ghosts will have to answer to her.
I've read this book too many times to count. Blossom has such a unique voice and the charm she brings to the narrative is one of its major selling points. In comparison to the prequel to this book, The Ghost That Belonged To Me,I felt Blossom is a much stronger narrator than Alexander and that Alexander gets more opportunities to shine here in Blossom's story than Blossom got to shine in Alexander's. Also anyone interested in the Titanic playing a part in a larger story will find this to be a fun read.
