Hi Rhonda, another nice chapter. My only complaint is I didn't want it to end. I'll be anxiously awaiting the next post.

    Thank you so much, Melissa! As I was telling another reviewer, I took so much flack for making the last chapter so long, I cut this one down. Thanks for the encouragement!

Rhonda, I like this chapter. What I like is the interaction between Becky and Tabby. The dialogue between them gives this chapter and story meaning. The two of them go inside and slip into that bedroom to find a beautiful room and then Maggie Smith. A good ghost or a bad one. Very well written, Rhonda. This is excellent so far!

    Thank you so much, Jim. I'm glad you liked it, and equally as glad you are following the story. It's always good to get outside opinions!

    Thanks again,
    Rhonda

    Thank you, Giddy. I actually managed two chapters this week. It helps when I keep them shorter.

    Take care,

I really like the set up for the presentation of the tale - being related as past events to an audience. It not only tells me at least these made it out okay, but returning to the presentation gives a bit of a break from the tension of action. Finally, a good paranormal entity. Enjoying it all!

    Thanks for your comments, and support. Yes, they have found an ally. They will gather them here and there throughout the book. Not to have too much of a spoiler, but the present develops it's own issues. Story within a story. Thanks for sticking with it,
    Rhonda

Hi, Rhonda

= Well, always to a have nice, mild-mannered ghost, versus the conniving, evil kind. (*<*)
= An excellent chapter.
= My girlfriend's daughter, when she was about five, and we were talking on the phone one time, the subject turned to Casper the friendly ghost.
= She asked me if I knew why God made ghosts, and so, of course, I asked her why, because I didn't know.
= Codi said, "Because when their aren't enough angels to go around to help people, God made ghosts to help out the angels." (*<*)
= Who knew? Right? I love it.

Another fine chapter, Rhonda, and these girls are more dare devilly than I would have been. If I opened the door to find a ghostly apparition, I'd need a case of Charmin!

    Yeah, me, too, Mike! And I'll bet I wouldn't just stand there and talk to her, either!

Hi Rhonda,

I do so enjoy this. There is a definite earnestness about the girls that is lacking in 'modern day' heroes. A pleasant throwback, you could say! LOL

Miltonville Middle School, welcome!." - delete the full stop.

"'I watched you leave for just a moment,' Becky began, 'and then turned to Tabby, who had opened her eyes and was looking a little shaken.

"'Are you okay?" I asked, brushing her hair away from her face. - have a look at the speech marks in this section.

Where did Nancy and Elizabeth go, anyway. - need a question mark in here.

"Help me to my feet, Becky. They can't fight her alone.' - opening and closing speech marks here are different forms.

slipped through the door and into a bedroom - bedroom.

"'My name is Maggie Smyth,' she replied in a voice that echoed across the ages." - I don't think you need the closing speech marks here.

    Thank you, so much for finding those flaws. I can't believe after reading through it so many times, I still missed some. Part of it is because I revise something and forget. Good thing for reviewers like you!

    You're right about the heroes, and, I guess, partly why I'm writing this book. Thanks again,
    Rhonda

I just finished the last one. This one was very good as well. Good twist with a ghost now on their side.

I found one minor thing:

"'Chasing the witch?' She repeated.' She should be lower case.

Take care,
Russell

    Thank you, Russell, for the great review, and for pointing out the lower case "she". I had always been taught that you capitalize after a question mark, but have since been corrected. I try to remember, but forget now and then. Thanks so much,
    Rhonda

Your story flows so well. You make the reader cheer for the girls. What spunk they have. You've painted a great picture with your words. Mary
