There are three short stories (The Ghost of Dodson Hall, The Priest Hole and Shara’s New House). The Ghost of Dodson Hall: In 1940 there is a war between Germans and British and the children from big cities are moved to small cities. In this case Sall, a 12 years old child from London, goes to a village called Norrick and she stayed at Miss Dodson’s house. Miss Dodson is an old woman who lives alone in Dodson Hall. There weren’t any children in the house, but suddenly, Sally hears children laugh, so she decided to go to the kitchen. She finds two children, a boy and a girl. She told Miss Dodson but she tells her that it’s impossible because there aren’t any children, so Miss Dodson says that she imagined it. Sally kept seeing the children but the girl sometimes says “Mee Lee” or “The locket” and they were searching for something so Sally tells Miss Dodson. Miss Dodson tells her the tragic story about her ex gardener and his family: the gardener had two kids, a boy and a girl, and the girl had a locket but the girl broke it. She gave the locket to Miss Dodson to fix it but that night a fire began and the family died. Sally and Miss Dodson decided to put the locket on the kitchen’s table with a note. The next morning the both thongs disappeared and Sally never saw the children again. The Pries Hole: Harry went to a boarding school but at night he saw a priest. He told him to pray for him. Nobody believed him until he talked with the principal. Harry and his roommates went to another room and, when the builders were redecorating the old room to make a TV room, they found a skeleton of a priest. They made a catholic funeral and they never saw the ghost again. Sarah’s New House: Sarah and her family moved to another house. Sarah chose her new bedroom but there was a wardrobe and a key. She thought it was the attic key, so she went to see. When she went to the attic, she found some boxes and a mirror. In one of the boxes there was a yellow and long dress, she wanted to know if it fitted her, so she went to the mirror and she looked at herself, but there was another girl in the mirror. The girl started laughing and Sarah, frightened, went down-stairs. The next day her mum brought the mirror to Sarah’s room and she heard the laugh again, so she asked her father who lived before them in that house. The father went with Sarah to see Mr. Ross, the owner. Mr. Ross told them that the house was from his grandmother but she died in the hospital. He told them that her grandmother didn’t want to leave the house because her big sister, who died, loved that house. When Sarah went home, she tried to talk with Annie, the sister of Mr. Ross grandmother’s oldest sister. Sarah talked with her because she wanted to stay but Annie didn’t want them in her house, so Annie told Sarah that she could stay but only if it’s forever. Somehow Sarah started disappearing and she woke up in her old bedroom but there was something strange.
Personal Opinion
I kinda liked the books, I liked the theme and that there were three short stories but I didn’t like how the last book finishes, I need more information. My favourite book was “The Ghost os Dodson Hall” and I think it was easy to understand.
