This week I started a new book named Ruined by Paula Morris. The story took place in New Orleans. A girl named Rebecca who lived in New York, moved to New Orleans to live with her Aunt Claudia and cousin Aurelia because her father went to China. The girls in her new school treat her like she’s invisible. One night, Rebecca made a friend with a ghost.
When Rebecca entered Aunt Claudia’s house, Aunt Claudia told her never go to the Lafayette Cemetery across the street because it’s not safe. One night, Rebecca went into the Lafayette Cemetery. She met a black girl about her age. Her hair was long, hanging to one side in a loose braid, wearing a white blouse and a dark skirt.
Rebecca made friends with the black girl named Lisette. Lisette told Rebecca she’s a ghost and has lived in the Lafayette Cemetery for a hundred and fifty-five years. When Rebecca holds Lisette’s hand, there will both be invisible. Lisette also told Rebecca that she will be a ghost forever unless the curse is broken.
They story is very interesting so far. I’m always interested in ghost stories including this one. Another reason is that the story took place in New Orleans, which is very close to Baton Rouge. I wonder if the rest of the story is about the curse that Lisette told Rebecca. Will Rebecca try to break the curse? Will Lisette rest in peace at the end of the book?
Alice, I have heard of this book before and I always wanted to read it but never got the chance. I know alot of people that read that book and it sounds really interesting. I hope you enjoy the rest of the book.
ReplyDeleteAlice, keep your focus on your thoughts and ideas about the book, not the book's plot.
