About this listen

Sixth-grader Nina Tanleven knows that old Mrs. Watson’s spike-roofed, dark green house is haunted. She feels the ghost as soon as she walks toward the faded porch. But when Nina climbs the stairs to look for an antique wardrobe in the tower room, she has to wonder what else the spooky mansion is hiding. Soon Nina is in the company of a ghostly crying child, a long-dead artist, and a gruesome, hypnotic painting. To break the dark spell surrounding the house, she will have to join forces with these shadowy spirits.

Bruce Coville is the author of dozens of books for young listeners. He has been a storyteller, teacher, and actor. It was his love for the theater that led him to write his first book about Nina Tanleven, The Ghost in the Third Row. The feisty Nina, his favorite ghostbuster, is sure to become yours, too.

This was one of my favorite books as a child, and I had the amazing opportunity to share the story with my children this weekend. They were absolutely enthralled. Bruce Coville is such a captivating writer and Christina Moore is one of my all time favorite narrators.

Wonderful!

This is a re read for me. I read this author’s work as a child. As an adult I am able to better appreciate the story, the characters and the ending. Would highly recommend.

Not your average children’s ghost story

Where does The Ghost in the Big Brass Bed rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

This is one of my favorite YA books. It does a great job introducing some social American aspects of WWI, while remaining engaging. I highly recommend it for the tweens on your gift lists, as well as for yourself. Ghosts, mysteries, history, & libraries - what more can you ask for?

Have you listened to any of Christina Moore’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

I find the narrator's voice a bit grating, but I became used to it. And the characterizations are well done.

Loved it
