The Ghost of Genny Castle

Title: The Ghost of Genny Castle
Author: John Escott
Publisher: Penguin (2)
Summary:
Claire stayed with her Aunt Min in a winter who lived in the village of Little Genny. Near her house there was Genny Castle. The villagers were afraid of the castle. About two hundred years ago, a witch was in the castle as a servant. When her master’s daughter was going to die, the witch never helped the daughter, because the witch’s sister was killed by her master before. And the witch was killed by her master too at the top of a tower of Genny Castle.
One night, Claire and her aunt walked near the castle through the snow and the wind. But her aunt too tired, so they went to Burge’s house which was near the castle. Mr. Burge wasn’t in his home. Claire looked for him and went up to the castle. Mr. Burge was at the top of a tower of Genny Castle and the ghost of the witch was there too. Claire said “Mr. Burge… Mr. Burge. It’s Claire.” Unexpectedly, Claire was the same as the name of the girl- the daughter of her master. So, the ghost was panicked. Then half of the tower began to fell down and the ghost disappeared. And nobody ever saw the ghost of Genny Castle again.
Evaluation: 4 stars
This is horrible but exciting story. But it was difficult to express it was horrible in Summary. This story is more horrible and exciting than my Summary.
