Eva Sees a Ghost: A Branches Book (Owl Diaries #2) Paperback – Illustrated, May 26, 2015

A seven year-old turned me onto this series. As an educator, I have to say that I love this series! These stories are perfect for newly independent readers. The adorable illustrations break the short chapters into manageable chunks. The fun and exciting stories keep young readers engaged. I would recommend these books for 7-8 year-olds to read independently, and for parents to read to younger children.In this second installment of the Owl diaries, Eva becomes convinced that she saw a ghost after her teacher tells a scary story at school one night. No one believes her, though! Except for her best friend, of course. Others doubt Eva so much that she begins to doubt herself. In order to prove the ghost exists, Eva writes, distributes, collects and reviews surveys. A beautiful early introduction to the scientific method! In the end, the entire class goes on a ghost hunt and discovers the true identity of the ghost. The ghost, or should I say ghosts, turn out to be a family of snowy owls who are moving to the neighborhood.

Good read for grandchildren

Fun book for any 3rd or 4th grade student

My daughter has recently learned how to read and she is in love with these our diary books they're only a few words that I need to help her with the pictures on each page are beautiful and interesting, and she really gets into the storyline. I would recommend these books for any little kindergarten girl who things hours are adorable and knows that she loves reading and wants to further her reading.

My daughter (7) going into 2nd loves these books! I am so happy to have found branches books! It really does help transition the kids into early chapter books. This story is really cute and my owl is just adorable. Again- this is one of my daughters favorite reads!! I would recommend this for any girl around her age who has parents tired of everything revolving around a princess....

This was purchased as quickly as published for a seven-year-old emergent reader, who had read the first in the series. She had been waiting for it, and it did not disappoint. The amount of print per page, the font sizes, the elements of the plot--all are right for a first or second grader, either to be read aloud, listened to, or delved into independently. The diary format is enchanting for a little girl, too. The first one has been read many times, and this one will be, too, over the next months.

Little book

Too scary for my 5 year old. I enjoyed reading the first book. I found myself having to ad lib parts due to "bad dreams " the previous nights. I am hoping book 3 is tamer. Additionally, I don't love that the main character calls two characters names. They are harmless, (squirrel head and meany mcmeanerson) but I am already trying to stop name calling between a 5 and 7 year old in my house and don't want to undermine my work. We will definitely buy the 3rd book though! Maybe your 5 year old is tougher than mine and maybe you can find an effective method for teaching about the difference between a book and real life. I am not that awesome today.

this book was awesome for my daughter who is 9 and really likes reading.she also thought that the auther should write more books so lots of kids can have fun reading these books.

My 8 year old loves these books.

We love the series!

The media could not be loaded. This book can be easily read by 6 year old. And I think it is very suitable for this age group. Not too long nor too short. He enjoyed reading this story.

A perfect graphic novel to start a non reader reading. My daughter loves the owls, the personalities she was very eager to get to Book #2 & #3. She finish all 3 in less then a week...it is a great appetizer to get a non reader to read more books! So happy to find these a must have for owl crazy kids!
