Noah K. '10 The
Boggart is a book about a girl named Emily and a boy named Jessep who find out they
have inherited their Grandfather's castle in Scotland called Castle Keep. So they go to
Scotland, but bring some things home with the Boggart in them Oh yea -- a Boggart is a
spirit that taunts people and the whole book is them trying to figure out the Boggart.
I think this is a good book because it is really suspenseful. I
would recommend this book to anyone that likes mystery books.

Mary H. ’08 This entertaining tale is about Emily and Jess Volnick’s family who
inherited a small falling castle. What they did not know was that they also inherited a
boggart, an everlasting, invisible spirit who plays tricks on the owners of the castle.
When the family is shipped back to Toronto, with the boggart, who knows what he will do to
get back home? If you would like to find out, read this book.
