Title: The beginning will draw you in.
Review: "Something Upstairs: A Tale of Ghosts" is more of a time travel adventure story, than a ghost story. If you're looking for supernatural frights, look elsewhere. If you're looking for a historical-adventure told with an interesting storytelling method, then you've come to the right book. The reader will be so caught up in the time-traveling ghost story, that they won't realize they've just read a historical fiction - the premise is slavery. This book redeemed my faith in author Avi, solely by the way he chose to begin the book. Although the ending is abrupt and opened-ended, it's a good book for young readers to read over the summer. A sequel would have been most appropriate. I recommend.
