My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Swallowed by a Secret is the first book I’ve read by Risa Nyman. I really enjoyed it, and while it’s listed as a childrens book, I would say preteen. The book has a bit of mystery, that is not revealed until the very end. You can speculate all you want, but most people won’t guess the answer. The characters in the book are well written and the friendships developed are strong. The feelings of the book are realistic and would be good for any child experiencing a loss. It helps them make sense of their feelings and understand everyone goes through some heavy things in life.
The book is about Rocky, a 12 year old boy whose dad recently passed away. He was told from heart issues, but he doesn’t believe that. His mom makes them suddenly packup and move, right after the funeral. He has overheard pieces of conversation indicating his mom is hiding the details surrounding his father’s death. To make matters worse, he started hearing his dad’s voice. At first he is terrified, but then finds comfort in it. He has his new friend Olive start scheming ways to find out the truth.

This is my first book by Risa Nyman, Swallowed by a Secret was such a surprising read. I found myself quickly drawn into the story line and didn’t want to put it down until I had finished the last page.This is the story of 12-year-old Rocky whose father has died. He finds himself changing homes and schools which both take time to adjust to. This book has everything, including the ability to make me cry. The characters, though young, (the main character is thirteen) were really fantastic.I can’t wait to read more from Risa and more about Rocky!

Swallowed by a Secret was a really intriguing and interesting read. I’ve not read anything by this author before so I was looking forward to finding and reading a new author and I was really impressed. The story whilst about a young boy was really rich and deep – I found myself easily absorbed into what I was reading. I was really surprised actually how emotionally involved I became with the story and with Rocky! I enjoyed reading his journey and the author did a really great job with him as a character.
I will definitely be looking to read more from this author in the future and I highly recommend this read to others, both YA and more mature readers alike!

This book was enjoyable from the first page to the last page. Young adult books are becoming a genre for everyone. I tend to read the books before I let my daughters read them. In this book, there are tender moments, trouble times, and emotional roller coaster rides.The characters are easy to relate to and believable. This story is about Rocky. Rocky’s father has just passed away. He thought he knew his father, until he overheard his mother talk about his father. Rocky is now in a new neighborhood, new school, and has this hanging over his head. He heads on an adventure with his friend Olive to find out the truth about his father. I highly recommend this story for middle school age and older children.

I got very little sleep last night because of this book. I just wanted to start it so that when I got up this morning I could jump in having already begun. NOPE, I literally read the whole thing, I could not put it down. This is my first ever read by this author, and I think my first middle grade book ever, I’d have to double check that but I am telling you right now..Trust me on this, I don’t care how old you are this was an outstanding book. The writing was phenomenal which is why I couldn’t put it down. Then I fell asleep sniffling because I bawled at the end.

I just wanted to jump in the book and hug Rocky so many times, I also wanted to play his chauffeur and wanted so badly to jump in the middle of his and Olive’s plans. Olive scared me at first, I wasn’t sure, but she turned out to be exactly what I’d hoped for. Then there was Max, again he scared me, but his character has given me hope that maybe there will be more? My heart also broke for Mom once I finally understood everything that was going on. I can’t even imagine!

Run, don’t walk and grab this book. It really is amazing, and I will be getting copies for my older grandchildren who I know would love it as much as I did.

Swallowed by a Secret by Risa Nyman was such a surprising read- in a great way. It is a highly emotive story aimed at tweenage children (9 – 13), but can also be enjoyed by older readers, like me, too.
Rocky’s life is turned upside down by the death of his father. He and his mother have to move house, and he has a new school to adjust to. But on top of all that, there’s quite a big secret surrounding the death of his father, and that everything he though he knew, may not be true. He is determined to uncover the truth and get to the bottom of it all. And so starts his ‘adventure’. Along with his friend Olive- they set off to unravel the mystery and find the truth.
This is such a relatable story. Rocky and Olive are really wonderful characters. Rocky’s story is very engaging and I was totally invested in the outcome of it all- but I think that Olive really stole the show. She was that extra ingredient that took this story from interesting, to impressive.
The story includes some sensitive and difficult topics- which I think the author handled in a considerate, yet realistic way.
This is definitely worth the read. But, be sure to have some tissues on standby, as you are going to need them.

Thank you, Risa Nyman!

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I give Grace’s Ghosts by Stephenie Wilson Peterson, 5 stars.

This book was fantastic! Yes, the main character is twelve, so this is technically for older children, but really it’s great for all ages. Grace is entertaining and real. Children can relate to her problems and adults can remember not really fitting in as a child. The secondary characters are all fantastic too. Being a cat lover, Midnight is of course my favorite.

The story itself is interesting too. Grace learns more about herself as well as trying to figure of the puzzle of the trapped ghosts. I have read many paranormal books, and I cannot say I have read something like this before. I could not put it down until I was done (and I am many, many times older than 12). I was so intrigued and I hope there will be more books with these characters in the future.

Grace’s Ghosts by Stephenie Wilson was my first experience reading anything by the author and I was really happy that I found her when I had finished this novel. I read it hoping this would be something I could also share with my twelve year old and was so excited when it read like a cute and sweet young adult read with a wee bit of suspense thrown in to entice the older children crowd. While this is a young adult novel or categorized as a children’s book I really enjoyed reading this as an adult and would love to find out what else is available from the author.

The story follows Grace, a young girl who sees ghosts and is perplexed by the vast amount that her town in particular has. She is determined to find out what is wrong and to help the spirits that she interacts with. I really enjoyed the mysterious and adorable ghost cat that seems to be her sidekick too. I think this is a fun story to share with my kids and look forward to finding her other novels soon!

Grace’s Ghosts is a fabulous middle school age children’s paranormal fantasy by Stephenie Wilson Peterson. It is a well woven tale of friendship, ghosts, an old curse, secrets, magic, mystery, and adventure.
Ghosts are drawn to Grace, and ever since she was born they’ve sought her out, so having them around is nothing new to her. In fact, she gets on better with ghosts than she does the living. She’s a bit of a misfit with the other children her age, so all her good friends are ghosts. Her best friend is her cat, Midnight- and you guessed it, Midnight is also a ghost. Grace learns of a curse placed on her town by a witch hundreds of years ago. This curse keeps the souls of everyone, trapped, in the town. The ghosts desperately need Grace’s help to lift the curse- and so the adventure begins. Grace uncovers startling secrets and uncovers much more than she could ever have imagined. It is race against time to find a way to free the ghostly souls, before it’s too late. But considering all her friends are ghosts- where will that leave Grace if the curse is broken?
Grace is a really sweet and caring young lady. I really liked her- and I thought Midnight was a really cute addition to the story.
A great read!

Thank you, Stephenie Wilson Peterson.

Wow this is such an emotional story that had me in tears. The characters are so relatable and the relationship between Rocky and Olive is so special. It handles a very sensitive subject in a careful and thoughtful way. And shows that secrets even when kept with good intentions aren’t always the right thing to do.

Rocky and his mother move to live with his grandfather after his dad passed away. Rocky’s mum told him that his dads heart just stopped but something doesn’t ring true to Rocky.

When Rocky starts hearing his dad’s voice he is sent on a mission to find out the truth about what really happened.

With the help of Olive then start uncovering the lies his mother and father used to protect him. The outcome is something he never imagined but the truth makes sense.

Wow! I did not expect this book to move me as much as it did. It is written with a tone that is geared towards a younger crowd but this book consumed me very much still as an adult middle aged woman. I loved how this book was written with such conviction that you could feel the author’s feelings flowing from the words as you read. I was completely enthralled in this read and found myself staying up way late into the night to find out how this story would come to a close. I am glad that I did, that was not wasted sleep or time at all.

Swallowed by a Secret is the story of a young boy named Rocky. He finds his life turned upside down by tragedy and struggling to fit into a new school and town altogether has made the search for answers about his father’s death even more tenuous. I won’t divulge much more than that about the storyline but I will assure you this is one you will want to read and share with your young tween/teen children as well. I know I am, and I look forward to seeing what may come next or is already available by Risa Nyman soon!

Grace’s Ghosts by Stephenie Peterson is a sweet, fun story that will appeal to the younger reader. It is quite a fast paced read so it is easy for anyone to get into the story.
Stephenie Peterson is a new author to me and I definitely enjoyed her writing style. Although my daughter is too young to understand books like this I enjoyed reading it to her anyway. Grace was such a lovely character she was an absolute joy to read about. I loved the other characters as well – with all the ghosts there were definitely a wide range of different ones.
The style of writing certainly draws you in to the story and keeps you reading the book. I enjoyed reading this book and I am looking forward to reading it again with my daughter when she is a bit older.

Rocky was a realistic and likeable kid. He suffered a traumatic event when he lost his dad and that broke my heart. When his dad started talking to him out of nowhere it shook him up. I loved his reaction and felt he did a good job in handling his freak out. Olive, his new friend, was amazing as well. She was unique and I loved that she stepped up to befriend Rocky as the new kid.

12 year old Grace can see ghosts, lots of them along with her best friend, a cat named Midnight. After hundreds of years, she’s the only person with this secret ability to view ghosts in Tansy, her hometown. She loves her ability, the ghosts she’s befriended and would prefer their company to those of the cliques at school.
The ghosts soon unveil to Grace a hidden centuries old secret that the town is cursed unless Grace can do something to change it. 300 years ago, a witch cursed every person to set foot in her town, made them ghosts and Grace is down for the cause. Grace soon unveils the truth her family hid for generations and a world a magic that surrounds her.
Will time repeat itself with the curse happening to a new generation or will Grace lose all her ghost friends to break the curse?
I love the beautiful back story of the ghosts, the curse and I fell in love with Grace from the beginning. She’s so sweet and her personality is adorable. Great read!

Grace’s Ghosts is a book suitable for children as young as 9 to 12 years of age. I am not ashamed to say, at 31 years of age, I loved it.
From the very first page I was intrigued and drawn into the storyline. I can honestly way, I don’t recall reading a story like this in the past. It was fast paced, exciting and unique. I feel as though Grace was a character kids could relate to or feel empathy towards. I can’t say enough about Grace’s Ghosts but I will stop here as to not spoil anything.

Honestly- it was full of emotion and great plots with amazing characters. I read this in a few hours because I couldn’t put it down! This story follows Grace who’s able to see ghosts, and have conversations with them. You get to meet her family and the people that go to her school. Every one who’s important is so deeply created, I either loved or despised them – whichever emotion Stephanie wanted me to feel. I hope there’s more of Grace’s story because I can’t wait for more!

One dead father.

One lying mother.

After twelve-year-old Rocky overhears Mom admit her story about how his dad died is bogus, his trust in his one remaining parent unravels. The For-Sale sign appears on the front lawn right after the funeral, forcing Rocky to leave the house linked to so many memories of his dad.

Consumed by the secret and struggling to adjust to changing schools mid-year, Rocky is startled by a familiar voice. Dashing into a restroom stall to hide, the voice of his father tells him that the only way to learn the truth is to return to his old town.

Can you take advice from a dead person?

Rocky finds a real partner in a new friend, Olive, who offers to be his assistant sleuth and help him crack the secret and get his life on track. The pair’s schemes go bust, but they embolden Rocky to embark on a journey of risks, eavesdropping and snooping to discover the truth about the father he thought he knew.

Grace’s Ghosts by Stephenie Wilson Peterson is a very well spun story. Some books you read for the history, some you read for love, and some you read just cause you like a good story. This book is that good story. I could totally identify with Grace, because I have been that odd man out. Eccentricity is rarely loved by the rest of the world. This is a great story for young people but adults will love it too. I know I did! I hope we see Grace and her friends in another story, these characters are way to good to only travel with once.

The story Grace’s Ghosts by Stephenie Wilson Peterson is an entertaining and intriguing book to read. It is a story that I found interesting from the very beginning and didn’t want to put it down until I had finished the last page. I loved the character of Grace. She is a twelve-year-old who has the unusual ability to see ghosts. While her life may be a bit strange, Grace is happy with it. Then she is told a secret about the town of Tansy where she lives. From there she is asked to help find a way to break a curse. Will Tansy be able to help the ghosts who reside in Tansy? What will she find out about her family along the way? What will happen to the ghosts in Tansy if the curse is broken? Read this book to find out. Tansy is such a wonderful character. She is intelligent, kind, and caring. I also enjoyed reading about Midnight who is Tansy’s feline best friend. This is a story that will capture your imagination. It is a story that includes magic, magical creatures, mages, and a curse. The book is exciting to read, and you can’t help but root for Tansy to find a way to break the curse on the town. I also enjoyed reading about the additional characters that interact and help Tansy. This is an amazing story that I would recommend reading.

This is a cute story that I enjoyed. This is a children’s story about Grace and her friends that happen to be ghosts. One day they tell her about a secret the town has. As she searches for answers, she finds things out that could just jeopardize her friendship with her friends. Will she break the town curse before it is too late? This story pulled me in from the beginning. It is a short story that is engaging and would be great for any child. It has some mystery and problem solving that is great. The characters are a little different but they made the story enjoyable to read. I highly recommend this book.

Twelve-year-old Grace and her feline best friend, Midnight, have a secret: Midnight is a ghost. But then again, so are the rest of Graces’ friends.

Since she’s the only person in hundreds of years with the ability to see them, the many ghosts of Tansy have flocked to Grace since birth. She doesn’t mind. She prefers the company of the dead to that of the cliquey kids at school.

Grace is happy with her strange life, until one day, the ghosts tell her about the secret her town has hidden for centuries. There’s a reason there are more ghosts than living people in Tansy. Three-hundred years ago, a lonely witch cast a spell that mistakenly trapped the soul of every person to ever set foot in the tiny town. So when the spirits beg her to find a way to break the curse, Grace is eager to help.

As she searches for answers, Grace makes discoveries about the secret her family hid for generations and a world of magic hidden in her own backyard.

Grace soon realizes that if she succeeds in breaking the curse, she’ll lose Midnight and all of her ghost friends, but if she fails, everyone living in Tansy will face the same fate. Can Grace break the curse before it’s too late?
