I am interested in this book and recognize that it has historical information. I am just starting to read it with my 12 year old daughter. Some of my colleagues say it has quit a bit of adult content. I want to use this page as a chat page as we read the book, one chapter at a time.

=Chapter 1:= Holy Cow....we were a little spooked by the welcome note for the Barry family! This was a great chapter to get us interested and reading together under the covers!! Onionskin paper?!! We are googling to see if that is like wax paper or what? Myra and Brynn

**onionskin paper** [ ′ən‚yən‚skin ′pā·pər ] (materials) A lightweight, durable bond paper; usually quite translucent, resembling the dry outer skin of an onion.

~We thought it was a great start to the book, even though it was a little spooky! Michelle and Maddie =Chapter 2-4:= Well, we have decided after reading these chapters that Daphne will appear to Lila during the night some how. We also think the black cat is Eulie's spirit some how and the cat is trying to tempt the family by doing something they shouldn't. We did have to discuss history of how things were in the South with the Judge and slave girls. (Pages 36-37) include component="comments" page="Book Chat of Ch.1-44" limit="10" ~Ew! The ear part was creepy! The black cat is definitely a ghost, but who is it? We also think Daphne will appear to Lila. We also had to discuss pages 36-37, and talk about slave girls and owners.

WE FINISHED THE BOOK...It seemed hard to chat chapter by chapter because of the book bouncing back from past to present, so we just finished! What an adventure together! We loved curling up with our heads peeking over the covers and our heart racing after each "ah ha" moment. It was good to see the videos about the real plantation first because it prepared us to imagine the different areas of the plantation. We loved it! Great Ghost story for kids to read!
