A 5-star rating
Remembering Kaylee Cooper is an intriguing story between
reality and the unknown. The author does a wonderful job of narrating a story
of a preteen boy and a girl caught between two worlds. I found this book to be
very engaging and just the perfect length for young readers. Follow Alex on the
adventure of a lifetime and find yourself in an engrossing story of coming to
age and being caught between this world and beyond. Once I began reading this
book, I couldn’t put it down, and thought how my own children would enjoy
reading this story. If you are looking for a good book to read and like the
stories about life in middle school and ghost stories you will surely enjoy
reading this book. This book was written for the middle class or junior high
level children, ages 10-14, and many children would be able to relate to this
book on many levels.
From the back of the book, Kaylee Cooper is certain that Alex will become friends with a ghost this year. Alex thinks that he is far too old to be listening to a first grader and encourages Kaylee to stop jeopardizing his important sixth grade social life. Kaylee doesn’t listen and finds awkward ways to spend as much time with Alex as possible, even if it means following him into the boy’s washroom.
Fed up, Alex develops a strategic plan to ultimately help him get rid of Kaylee Cooper for good.
However, he soon learns about the mysterious legend of Screaming Ridge that pulls an unlikely group of friends together, including the girl of his dreams, and the school’s meanest bully. When they discover that the legend is real, and that Kaylee Cooper is at the core of the mystery, Alex stares death in the face and helps save her from an eternal life of misery and confusion.
This book covers many of the issues children are dealing with in Junior High and this story can help give these children solutions to dealing with these issues.
