A review by bookertsfarm
The Ghost of Popcorn Hill by Betty Ren Wright, Karen Ritz

4.0

I recently received this book from Netgalley in exchange for an honest review. It looked like a cute republished children's books and since it had a dog on the cover I couldn't resist. As expected with an adult reading a children's book, I read it all in one sitting. In the book, the kids are wanting a big dog, but due to the budget and the size of their home, they end up getting a smaller dog. The book tells the story of how they boys get over their disappointment, with some drama and paranormal activity thrown in.

This would be a great book for a 2nd or 3rd grader and is considered a shorter chapter book. There are a few illustrations throughout which are wonderfully done and set me in mind of a simpler time. If you have children or love dogs, then this would be a great book to pick up for your home. Although I read it on my Kindle, I think the book and the illustrations make for a much better physical copy read.
