Rendition 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?Define Based On Books Jade Green

The ending was such a twist. Judith's cousin Charles was acting weird all along. He set the house on fire but they got out When they were evacuating for the hurricane and Judith stayed behind to help board the house, she went upstairs to pack her bag and Charles came up and tried to rape her. The ghostly hand that had been running around kill Charles. It turns out that he tried to do the same thing with Jade Green but she didn't make it. Charles killed her.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.
The story starts with Judith Sparrow, an fifteen year old orphan that after disobeying the only condition for living in her uncle's house; nothing green is allowed in the house, she unleashes a strange force. The story narrates the kinda boring life of a fifteen year old orphan who after her mother's death, she leaves to South Carolina in order to start a new and finally... exciting life. Her life completely changes when she arrives to her uncle Geoffrey's house, where she meets her uncle
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
Its a little scary but its really good
I gave this book one star because there was not enough action in it.
Okay, 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
