THE MAIN CHARACTOR:Jacob , he is a middle aged man who is interesting to unravel as the story goes on.He also is not so worried about the goings on and is a city boy born in the great country and thinks it is one of thouse things and it's proberly nothing.He has quite a temper but willing to venture out into the depts of the over-grown miles of forests and tree's and fields and its most great ventuing wih him as he finds the unexpected.Quote,"The woodpecker stoped and left me standing in silence.Then mabey 20 yards off , I heard the sound of footsteps on the leaves.I didnt think and insead placead myself behind a tree,putting it between me and whatever-whoever-had taken that step. I held the shot gun ready,I felt the swaet on my fingers."

MY FAVOURITE CHARACTOR:My favvourite charactor is Miss Hanratty as she is the detective for the stolen car.she is a powerful,strick,mysterious kind-of charactor as she is friends with Jacob but tends to arrgue with him a bit.She is quite clever and informs him what to do to make the "folks round here" like him a little more as she grows to know him more.

TITLE: Breath

AUTHOR: Cliff Mc Nish

NUMBER OF CHAPTERS:25

NUMBER OF PAGES:232

MAIN CHARECTOR:Jack

GENRE:Chilling gost story

PLOT:Jack is not the regular 12 year old by the age of 12 his dad already passed away and Jack suffering from several asthma attacks since.Confused and worried about her son Sara ,his mum,soon decieded to move far away to the country far from any town and any memories of his dad for that matter.The house was big and old and held something even bigger and older than Jack could belive.Moving to this new house allowed Jack to see things,things that were not of the living!Sara beginning to think this was the wrong decition (with Jack telling unemaginable stories and Jack talking when none was there and him screaming at night she knows it just can'nt be the troumer of the recent loss of his dad,knowing there is something more.)she even biggins to think he is MAD!With things starting to ecor Jack knows it is impossinble to leave know even if he inteded.Only he can see them ,hear them ,feel them and learn thier secrets in time to save him and his mum,BUT WILL HE BE QUICK INUFF!?

fAVOURITE CHARACTOR:My favourite charector is...Jack because none knows about him and he is quite a miserious charactor that you get to unravel also becuase he has a certain personality that makes him all the more beliveable to . Although we can'nt relate to his situation it makes you want to help him.I also like the 4 ghost children in the story 2 girls and 2 boys.They are interesting as they all have different reasons of how they died and each with a certain hisory that sometimes helps them along the way of the story.Quote," Gwyneth (one of the youngest ghost children)Not fair, she thought to heself ,glancing jealously at charlie.Not one girl to play with!then something made Gwyneth gasp and forget all about the others.Beacause when Jack reached the front door he did an odd thing:he twisted his head and glanced staight towards them.All the ghost children noticed it.Ann shrank instinctively against the mangolia-painted wall,then laughed at herself.She knew they could'nt be seen or heard.Oliver had proved it eyond any doubt,amusing himself by dancing around the many that lived there before,yelling at the top of his voice."He...did'nt see us,"Charlie gasped."He coud'nt have ...could he?" "no,"Ann said trying to stay calm."But lets just make sure,eh?"Oliver said. "

FAVOURITE QUOTE:My favourite quote is..." Jack screamed.A small thin woman,face as pale as a white candle,was at the foot of his bed.Her arm slightly extended towards him.Her eyes in the moon light , were black as a bird's.Breathing heavily ,staggering to the door,carawling into the long corridor."MUM!MUM!"HE RASPED.Fumbleling in the top pocket of his pyjama for his inhaler,but he left it on the table in his room.He could'nt go back.That women was there. "

FIVE STAR RATING:I give this book 4 out of 5 for interest and the over all because it really kapt you hooked and wanting to know the next event also because it never got boaring and each chapter had a part to play in the story.I certainly recomed this for ghost story people into the thrilling teen book.
