Pretty good short story

*I received this book in exchange for an honest review.
This was the first book I've read/listened to by Ann Swann, and I enjoyed it. It only runs a little under 3 hours, so it's a short story but it's a pretty good one. Enjoy the journey of Stevie-girl and her buddies as they figure out the mystery of the Phantom Pilot that's been hanging out at her friends' house. And of course, you can't forget Lady...she was a very good touch to the story, especially towards the end and more information becomes available. The narration was good and the writing all flowed well. I didn't have any hiccups with this story. A solid 4 stars!

Ghost!

I thought this story by author Ann Swann was really good and it's suited for almost all ages, maybe not under the age of 8 years old though. I guess it depends on the child but I'm no child and I enjoyed it. I love the plot, the background, details, and the characters. It was a rather quick story but it held me immersed from start to finish. This is my first story that I've listened to by this author but I have 2 more to go and I'm looking forward to listening to them. I think most everyone will love this story and the characters.

Janet Borrus did a wonderful job with her telling of the story. She brought this story to life and I felt as if I was there watching the kids and the ghost. This narrator is New to me as well but I look forward to hearing more of her work. Everything flowed smoothly, the story and the narration so overall, I'm giving it a perfect 5 🌟 rating.
I did receive this audio free from the author in exchange for an honest and unbiased review.

A Thoroughly Engoyable Adventure

I thoroughly enjoyed this entire story—especially the plucky, fiesty heroine, Stevie-girl. Not a surprising, since I am also a big fan of Ms. Swann's Stutter Creek series, though I did wonder how captivating a YA would be for me. Very much so, as it turned out!Set in the 60's, the protagonists are eighth-graders, with cultural references to food, music and the small-town setting, all transport us back to a simpler, easier time. Or is it? Though I found myself reliving my carefree tomboy years with Stevie-girl and her friend Jase, there was also a rather spooky element, as the title suggests. I loved the relationship Stevie-girl has with her grandfather . . . and of course Jase with his trusty dog, Lady. All of them play an important, intriguing part in helping solve the case of the phantom pilot.

Swann's prose is easy and elegant, flowing seamlessly from one scene to the next with great characterizations and a gripping plot. Janet Borus's narrative style with her southern drawl and smooth delivery lends the tone of a grown woman relating a childhood memory. I was enchanted.

MOST HIGHLY RECOMMENDED for readers of all ages.

Fans of Meg Cabot's Mediator Series Listen to This

Any additional comments?

Stevie-Girl and the Phantom Pilot by Ann Swan is a charming ghost story reminiscent of the Mediator Series by Meg Cabot. I've always enjoyed good old fashioned ghost stories and this one does not disappoint. It is well written, flows naturally, and the two main characters are fully developed.

The story centers on two 8th graders, Stevie and Jase, who try to figure out why Jase is being haunted by the pilot who crashed his plane behind Jase's farmhouse. Stevie soon works out a way to communicate with the pilot using old newspapers. She also uncovers the relationship between the pilot and the abandoned house across town that is supposedly haunted. With Jase and Stevie's help, the pilot and his fiancé soon pass into the great hereafter.

I listened to the Audible version of this story narrated by Janet Borrus who did an admirable job. She portrayed the tweeners as likable characters surrounded by unbelievable events. I thoroughly enjoyed listening to this audio book!
