Carrie's Review: Ghost Ship by Dietlof Reiche

Twelve year old Vicki plans on spending the majority of her summer as a waitress at her dad's seaside restaurant Ye Olde Seashell Room, featuring seashell covered walls and the two-hundred-and-thirty year old figure head off of the infamous Storm Goddess which was lost at sea. At least, that's what everyone thought. When the ancient figurehead is taken down for restoration Vicki sees a vision of a man being hung on the mast of the Storm Goddess. At that moment the water in the local bay disappears leaving exposed the legendary ship itself. While the mayor seeks to make big bucks using the ship as a tourist attraction and a nosy reporter begins poking around, Vicki's dreams become haunted with ghostly memories still attached to the ship. Knowing there is only one thing left to do, Vicki realizes she must sneak aboard the ship and solve the mystery before the Storm Goddess disappears once and for all. A quick paced and spooky novel sure to delight anyone who enjoys a good ghost story. A perfect read for Halloween.
