This book is a scary book. It includes several different true ghost stories. I like the story about The Headless Train Man. It is about three girls named Allison, Sasha, and Robyn. They were having a sleep over at Allisons house. Allison’s dad is telling a story about the Headless Train Man that only comes out on stormy days and only goes to Daisy Hollow. The reason the Headless Train Man goes there is because that is where he died. Allison thought her dad was just trying to scare them. So Allison suggested that night to go out and look for the Headless Train Man. If you want to know if they find the Headless Train Man, you should read More Haunted Kids True Ghost stories By Allan Zullo.

It is about four best friends, Tibby, Bridget, Lena, and Carmen who are going separate ways for the summer, though they never have before. They all decide to share equally a pair of pants over the summer, just to feel like they were with each other all the time.

Each will go through a lifechanging experience. This story is about love, loss, friendship, and fun. Tibby faces the hardest thing- a friend battleing Leukimia. Bridget has a summer love, Lena, too. And as for Carmen, things didn’t go quite as planned with her dad as she thought it would. If you want to find out how each girl handles her problems, read the book The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants, part one of a series of four.

The Sisters Grimm by Michael Buckley is the BEST book I’ve ever read! It’s about a girl named Sabrina and her sister Daphne.  They go on whacky adventure’s and solve mind-boggling mysteries.  On the way there’s twists and turns. One of those time’s is when Sabrina walks into her not-so- brothers room.  Sabrina is so busy staring at the water fall and trees she does’t see that shes standing on a silver platter. All these gadgets above her head go ZING ZAM ZOOM!And before she knew it she was in a bucket of goo. It stayed in her hair  for so long she wore funky hair-dos to school every day!It gets WAY BETTER than this!! I really enjoyed reading this book! It was so good I read it in one week! It’s an AWSOME BOOK and I hope you read it!

In this amazing fantasy, a live doll named Annabelle and her family is owned by the Palmer’s. She also lives with the Funcrafts. One night when Annabelle and her best friend Tiffany (a Funcraft) were exploring the house with Annabelle’s aunt Sarah in search of spiders. When they were going back they saw a pair of footsteps. Aunt Sarah hid somewhere while Tiffany and Annabelle jumped into Kate’s backpack. They heard footsteps coming toward them so they hid a bit deeper. Then someone zipped up the backpack. They were trapped! In the morning they felt the backpack whip up on someone’s back. When they were able to get out, they were in school! Tiffany and Annabelle were so shocked. They got out of the backpack to explore. They figured they’d use the scarf next to the backpack to get back up. When the bell rang, they hopped into the backpack. When they arrived at what they thought was home Annabelle and Tiffany figured they went into the wrong backpack. They met some dolls there. There was a queen, Princess Mimi but, all the dolls called her Mean Mimi cause she was so harsh to all the dolls. They all created a plan to defeat Mimi. Then, on Monday, (they went in the backpack on Friday so they spent the weekend) they hopped back into the backpack and headed back to school. They found Kate’s backpack and this time Annabelle and Tiffany were positive. They got home and everyone was so relieved. But, they also found someone else at their home, Mean Mimi.
I liked this amazing book because it showed the depth of real fantasy.

This book is a history journal of a girl named Kaley. Also in this book Kaley basically talks to her teacher about her life. There are a lot of funny parts in this book like when Kaley is saying something about her cousin Cal or saying some false things about history in her journal. This book is really funny because the teacher writes notes to Kaley after each lesson that say something like: See me after school or these are not all facts or something about the puppy Kaley told her teacher to get. I loved this book it is hilarious.

This book is an easy read and even though it is only worth one point it will make you crack up. I am also going to read the second one that is called Cyberpals According to Kaley. I hope it is as funny as this one. This book would be recommended to I think girls and boys but girls a little more because it is the journal of a girl. ENJOY READING THIS!!!

This book is the fourth and last book so far in the series Hannah West. This book takes place in Seattle, Washington just like the rest. It is about a twelve year old girl who is a professional house sitter with her adoptive mom Maggie West. This book starts when Hannah and her mom move into a mansion on Millionaire’s Row. Then one day the neighbor’s houses have been broken into. It was really weird because nothing was stolen just the furniture was rearranged into Feng Shui and a rock was left in every house that was broken into. After the first house was rearranged Hannah, her mom Maggie, and best friend Lily found out that a TV show was being taped on Millionaire’s Row. then people would get to bring their precious item and see how much the stuff was worth. After part of the show was taped 2 things were actually stolen not the furniture being rearranged but the stuff was stolen. Who is the thief? Is it Louise (one of the neighbors practicing Feng Shui) or is it Gloria (an innocent neighbor). Who is it? Read the book to find out. ENJOY!!!
This book is Mystery.
