Explanation Concering Books Jade Green
Secrets Orphaned fifteen-year-old Judith Sparrow brings two secrets to her uncle's house in South Carolina: one, that her grief-stricken mother died in a madhouse, the other that she has disobeyed the only condition to living in her uncle's home -- nothing green is allowed in the house. Judith can't bear to part with the photograph of her mother in its lovely green silk frame. Surely this one small defiance will not jeopardize the happiness she finds in South Carolina -- with a family at last, and new friends, especially Zeke Carey, the miller's son. But Uncle Geoffrey's house holds a secret of its own. And Judith's small picture frame, hidden away at the bottom of her trunk, unleashes a powerful force that seems determined to bring that secret into the open. Or is Judith simply following her mother down the path toward madness?Details Books Supposing Jade Green

Not only was Phyllis Reynolds Naylor one of the most prolific juvenile authors of her generation, she wrote some of the most memorable pieces of literature, as well. Shiloh, for which Phyllis Reynolds Naylor was awarded the 1992 John Newbery Medal, is an American classic in the tradition of Marjorie Kinnan Rawlings's The Yearling, Wilson Rawls's Where the Red Fern Grows and Fred Gipson's timeless Old Yeller; her Alice series has stretched to twenty-eight full-length novels, been adapted into atOkay, Im sorry, but I just wasnt in love with this one. To begin with, its got that stick-up-the-butt pseudo-Victorian narrator voice that great childrens authors of the 1980s always seem to adopt when theyre writing about the 1800s (think Cynthia Voigt in The Callender Papers). I hate that voice. Also, the whole thing just seemedmuddled to me. Age-wise, I mean, not plot-wise. See, the storys about Judith, this orphan who comes to live with her uncle after her mom dies in an INSANE ASYLUM
Orphaned Judith Sparrow had been given everything by her uncle when she arrived penniless, and even still she has disobeyed him. In the exciting horror novel Jade Green by Phyllis Reynolds Naylor, Judith never thought she would be so lucky. Her uncle had taken her to live in his house in Whispers, South Carolina. All seemed well, but that is about to change.There is only one big rule her uncle has that she must keep. Nothing green is allowed in the house. Judith thinks nothing of it; every
A mix or romance, rumors, horror, and a murderous stalker, this book has a bit of everything. What I liked about this book though, was that it was predictable but not in a way that the author tried to hide it. You knew who killed Jade from the beginning but it was still thrilling and suspenseful! A very difficult thing to accomplish.
Just picked this up from the library today. I've read some other stuff by the same author, but this is definitely totally different cause it's kind of historical fiction. Seems ok, but it's pretty short, lol.I finished this at about four in the morning! It's not terribly scary, but sort of suspenseful. ~*`SPOILERS`*~The disembodied hand of Jade Green was.... interesting. I never really got the feeling that it wanted to hurt Judith, but then again, I had the luxury of reading the book, and not
Judith Sparrow is now an orphan. Both her parents are passed and she is going to live with her Uncle. There is only one condition to her living there; she cannot bring anything green into the house. But Judith has brought a green picture frame with her that was given to her by her Mother. Judith knows she shouldn't have brought it, but she couldn't leave the only thing behind that was from her Mother. Soon enough Judith is at home living with her Uncle and the cook Mrs. Hastenings. She is
