Book Report

The title of my book is Strange Spirits of St. Ignace. The author who wrote this book is Jonathan Rand. The main characters of this book are Kevin, Erin and Bobby. Kevin is a boy and he loves camping. Erin is a girl who is older than Kevin. Bobby is the youngest and is a toddler. These three kids are brothers and sister.

This story is about how these kids go out camping with their mom and dad. They go camping and while they are in the forest, they saw animal tracks, which looked like bear tracks .The three kids told their parents they will be back before sunset. The kids followed the tracks deep into the woods. They start to hear noises like whispering and stepping noises and realized they were lost. Kevin, who was the second oldest, made a pile of brush so he could make a fire. He happened to have a knife and a rock. He scraped the knife against the rock and tried to makes a spark to start a fire.

Then the kids saw glowing eyes in the forest and there were a bunch of them and they were starring at the three kids so intensely. Kevin defended his brother and sister by waving a fire torch to the animals and yelled to scare them off. It turned out that they were not animals but they were creatures. The creatures looked like ghost and the tracks they made disappeared. The creatures were not trying to hurt the children; they were nice creature who were trying to help the children The creatures began to talk to the three kids, but the children could not quite understand the creatures. The creatures were trying to warn the kids about evil animals that were coming to eat them. The children and the creatures ran because they heard the noises of the trampling animals coming.

The good creatures were able to fight off the evil animals with the help of the children, and the children and the good creatures got away.

This book was not what I thought it was going to be about because it turned out to be about ghost and evil spirits, which is something my mom usually does not let me read about. It really was not a good story because it was boring. I would not recommend this book to anyone, but I usually like the “Michigan Chillers” books.
