There are better ways to get them over that… not doing all this stuff, making them cry and hurting them. I mean, why? Even later when we learn the why I was still scratching my head. Still a fun idea, though I was a bit confused on why the ghost would do all these mean things to the family. Who the ghost was? Knew it very early on. My heart also broke for the grandparents and reading about segregation and how they wanted to swim but couldn’t, not until much later. I was proud of Celeste for speaking up, but seriously, can that lady just f off. We are in 2022 and you still say that shit? Excuse my language, but I was just so pissed at this woman. I wanted to yeet that lady at the community pool so hard when she said all she did when Celeste and her grandpa went there. And given the blurb and the cover I had expected something SUPER scary. Like Goosebumps or What Lives in the Woods or the fab series of You’re Invited to a Creepover. I know that this is MG, but come on, I have read some terrifying MG. Yeah, there were a few spooky moments, but nothing truly frightening. well maybe just hitting the 1 out of 5 for me. She sometimes had thoughts and I would have rather see her go to people and talk instead of just doing what she did. I quite liked Celeste though at times she kind of frustrated me. One of her goals of that summer is swimming as she wasn’t able to learn swimming from lessons.
Meet Celeste, a 12-year old girl about to go on vacation to her grandparents where she will also meet her cousins. Sadly, not as scary as I had hoped and it had me rolling my eyes a few times. Haha, I just have some feels/opinions about this one and I am not getting them sorted, so this will have to do. Sadly, it was absolutely not scary + I had some other things that didn’t work for me.įirst up, sorry for the chaotic review. A book about family, conquering fears, and summer.
