“This book is about a boy named Jack and his mother Sarah who move into an old house. One night Jack jerks up and finds a lady layed across the edge of his bed. It just so happened to be a ghost that had been stuck in the house for many years. There were also 5-6 ghost children in the house. The lady was taking their souls to keep her out of the Nightmare Passage. Jack has serious asthma so everytime he has an asthma attack it is because of all of the dust in the house and running around trying to figure out what the ghosts do all day.”

I know I would certainly get the heck out of there and convince my parent to move faster than you could say “Trick or Treat” five times. Well, I suppose that's where Cliff McNish's character, Jack, and I differ.

In the book Breathe: A Ghost Story by Cliff McNish, the reader is taken into many different worlds through just one boy, Jack, as he is a medium between the world of the living, the world of lost souls, the world of the other side, and the world which exists between the living and the non-living.
When Jack's father dies, and Jack and his mother move into a new home out in the country, Jack hopes to contact him through some supernatural occurrence, but instead Jack finds himself in direct contact with another non-living soul in the home. At first Jack presumes his connection with the ghost – aka the Ghost Mother – will lead him to contact his dad, but he soon discovers the evils that lie within this home and the dangers that await.
You will want to read Breathe with the lights on for fear that a ghost may be lurking in your own home. Even more frightening than the ghosts were the parts of the story describing the world of the lost souls. McNish's description of this terrifying and unsettling world will have your hairs standing up on your arms, and you'll reach for a blanket due to the chills you'll be feeling!
I want to thank lucca4 for recommending this book in the entry Get ready, get set and RECOMMEND!
I give Breathe: A Ghost Story 4.5 out of 5 stars.”

“This book had some really good plot elements to it. Alot about the ghosts was intersting. However, about halfway though it got a little bizarre then really repetitive. ”
