    I like this book because it was a good story and interesting. This story is about a ghost named Gus that is friendly. The lives in an abandon house that no one lives, but a family lives in the house during summer. Their name is the Scott family, with Mr and Mrs. Scott and theirs children Susie and Sammy. This family isn't afraid of ghost or believes in them, so they like going to the house. During the winters the Scotts go back to their own house. Gus is always lonely without them there because he always amuses the family by rattling and clanking in the attic. One day Gus goes out and finds Mouse, who is very cold because its winter. Gus asks Mouse back to the house and spend some time with him. They go back to the house and Mouse is cold, so with Gus's power he makes a fire. Mouse is hungry and Gus isn't because ghost don't get hungry, so with Gus's power, he makes Mouse a cheese sandwich. The next day the Scotts come back to the house and they don't like mice. Read the book to find out what happens to Mouse and the Scotts.

    I LOVE this book. It's one of the few books that I kept from my childhood and still flip through it every once in awhile and it brings so many memories back of my mom reading it to me. It's a wonderful and timeless children's book.
