Two students from a local school read THE MADONNA GHOST and decided to use the Voki website to create avatars for the main characters. Click on the website to view the neat job they did. When the website comes up, wait for it to stop scrolling and hit “my voki” on the bar across the top. Select a character and press the forward button below their picture.

Catherine and Erin, two students at Saint Patrick’s School in Smithtown, Long Island read THE MADONNA GHOST as part of an English class project. Besides answering some questions in an interview reproduced below, the girls decided to create avatars for the main characters. Annie, Ty, Alice and Doc show up on the voki website with faces and voices. They did a great job!

HERE IS THE INTERVIEW

1. Did you like the ghost story, and why?
I liked the ghost story because it was interesting. While I was reading, I wanted to find out what was going to happen next. I was glad that the book wrapped up everything in the end.
2. Did you think the ghost was real?
I thought the ghost was real because of the way it was described. The ghost seemed to come to life and seemed very realistic.
3. Who was your favorite character and why?
Alice was my favorite character because she was mysterious. You never knew what she was going to do. She reminded me of my little brother. My brother believes in ghosts and supernatural things like she does.
4. Did you know that the neighbors would figure into the ending?
I did think that the neighbors would be part of the ending but not in the way that they were. I thought the neighbors kidnapped Jill but I thought Ty was going to save her.
5. Can you give me the overall impression of the book?
I thought the book was really good. It was a page turner. I could not wait to read more.
6. What were the best parts?
My favorite parts were the mystery parts like when they saw the ghost and when they found J’s earring by the neighbor’s house.
7. What was your reaction to Ty telling Annie that he has seen the ghost?
I was surprised. It was very wierd.
