WHAT BOOK AM I READING?:
The book i'm ready is called 'Ghost Child' by Sonya Hartnett. It is a mature 'young adults' book, but so far, it's very interesting to enjoy and read.
WHO ARE THE CHARACTERS?:
The characters in the book so far are Matilda Victoria Adelaide ('Maddie'. She is from a rich family and is the main character), Matilda's parents; Mother (very snooty and disapproval of Matilda) & Father (the rich 'iron man' who has a rather adventurous soul), Feather (a boy Matilda meets on the beach and whom she madly falls in love with), and the young boy who talks to seventy-year-old Matilda
WHAT IS THE PLOT SO FAR?:
So far, there isn't really a plot. The book has two parts that sometimes confuse me. The part of Matilda as a 70-year-old telling a young boy her life, and then the story part of her youth that she tells. I've read up to the part when she's told her parents that she's in love with a free-cared and poor man called Feather. Her snooty mother disapproves, but her father is willing to give the boy a chance. Matilda's afraid that if Feather agrees to her fathers terms, Feather would be mad at her for taking his freedom. But he says yes; for he is in love with Matilda and will do anything for her.
How Matilda got up in this situation, was the fact that she had finished school. Her father, at dinner, asked her 'What's the most beautifulest thing in the world?' . Matilda doesn't know, so her father took on a trip around the entire globe to show Matilda the world and if that would find her answer. Before hand, she said 'sea eagles'. Now she says that Feather is. Unsure of her life, she thinks she would die without Feather. But there is more to come within the book...
HOW WOULD I RATE THE BOOK?
I am unsure on how i wold rate this book, since i don't know much about it. The one thing that intrigues me to read it is the fabulous and deep description that Sonya has written in the book. It's striking and powerful, but the book is based on a hard romance of uncertainty. So far, out of 10, i would give 'Ghost Child' a 7 or 8 out of 10.

Interesting....Can't wait to hear more!
read the book now TJ, so now i can tell what happened.
Feather and Matilda move to a cottage in the forest. They love eachother deeply, but can't live together. Matilda then thinks that the only way to keep their love airborne is to have a child. So when she is pregnat she is so happt to have the child to herself, but it's a miscarrage.
One night Feather runs away and Matilda sails over the ocean to find him. When she does, she realises that even though she'll love something that can never be, he'll still be in her thoughts.
Then as the 70 year old, she gases herself and goes to heaven.
You have to read the book. I highly reccomend it.
