Ghostly Tales: Four Stories

(4) 4-6 Portraits of Little Women series. While a prologue and epilogue suggest the fictional Jo March has written these tales, the stories have the same style and tone as the series' previous books. Meg and Beth meet friendly specters, while Jo faces a malevolent force that is dispatched with a splash of water. In the least successful story, Amy's apparition seems to be a manifestation of her own greed. The characterizations are flat, but readers may enjoy the ghostly plots.
