Book Review: Something Upstairs



Something Upstairs by AVI is about a boy named Kenny who meets a ghost named. Caleb is a slave ghost who got murdered in the upstairs attic room. Kenny is a boy who just moved to Rhode Island from California. So when Kenny hears Caleb's story, he decides that he wants to try and help Caleb. So Kenny and Caleb go back in time to the 1700's. they figure out that it was actually Kenny who killed Caleb because he was forced to. they figure out that a man named Willinghast was behind the murder. so in the end, they end up killing Willinghast and Caleb and Kenny both survive. Kenny never saw Caleb again after that night, but he knew that they would always be friends forever. That is a synopsis of Something Upstairs by AVI.

One of the main themes in the book is friendship. an example of how this is shown is when Kenny and Caleb meet, they become friends. Another theme is bravery. An example of how this theme is shown is when Kenny is brave enough to shoot Willinghast. Those are some of the themes in this book.

I would recommend this book to other 7th graders because it has a lot of adventure in it. I also think that if you like drama, it would be a perfect book for you. It is also very fast and easy to read. I would recommend this book to ages 12-30. That's who I would recommend this book to.
