Rendition To Books Ghosts I Have Been (Blossom Culp #2)

An oldie from my childhood which I just finished re-reading this October -- great timing, because it begins on Halloween . . . .

Excellent, and now I remember why I hung onto this so long. I was ghost crazy as a kid, and adored witches, and this book certainly filled the bill. Blossom Culp, social outcast and "a girl with powers" tells her early 20th-century story in the first person voice. Growing up in a small town like Blossom, I loved the echoes this had in my own life.

I was very worried that the book wouldn't age well, but even as an adult, it's still a good (and amusing) read. The humor is still there, and even though Blossom is one of those "loner girls without a friend in the world" she never turns into a whiny heroine. The first person voice is amazing. And while the plot turns on something a little bit far-fetched, I've read much worse in books for adults.

Still love it. Would recommend it for even adults. There is a paedophile villian, but it's not too creepy, and he gets his comeuppance. One thing I didn't realize as a kid was that this was part of a series . . . I may have to look for the others.

Evaluation Appertaining To Books Ghosts I Have Been (Blossom Culp #2)

I READ THIS MANY MANY MANY YEARS AGO IN ELEMENTARY SCHOOL. I NOW WANT TO READ IT AGAIN!

This is such a great kids book. Its one of those books that is fun to reread as an adult- which I have done several times. The best thing about this book is that I lent it to my mom and she and her husband liked it and went on to read more of Richard Peck's books. I always love giving someone a book they like to read.

Latest re-read: 7/24/17This book has no right to be this good when I'm this old. But it is. God, it really is. And Peck, who was in his forties when he wrote this book, has no right to be so good at capturing Blossom's voice: devastatingly self-aware, funny and wry, out for everything she can. Plus she sounds every inch a preteen girl who has experienced more than a few uppercuts to the chin by the ringside opponent known as Life. Blossom's circumstances were exotic and adventurous when I was a

I thoroughly enjoyed this book.

I forgot the name of this book and couldn't find it for years so I started putting crazy prompts into google to see if anything would catch and finally after putting in: YA story where girl goes back in time to the Titanic, here I am. lol. Anyways, this was a great story I read when I was younger and I'm glad I found it so that I can read it again.

Even though this is a young adult book and I read it when I was 40, I thought it was a great book.

This YA book had me laughing right out loud. It is the second in the Blossom Culp series. I recently read The Ghost Belonged To Me and a friend recommended that I follow up with this one.Superficially it appears that there is nothing in depth re. Richard Peck's books, but in reality, his keen wit and ability of portraying hypocritical high society in 1913 contrasted with down to earth plain folk eking out a living is excellently handled.Blossom Culp is born on the wrong side of the tracks.
