Exciting Reading

Sometimes using Walt Disney's Space Mountain attraction as a backdrop, there are five stories intended to be exciting reading somewhat based on the popular attraction. This book would be great to motivate students to read with high interest, easy to read stories. The book would also be good to read before visiting the park in order to spark the imagination. Each story is unique and not all of the stories in the collection occur in the Disney Park. Some of the stories are quite scary and resemble episodes from the old "Twilight Zone" TV series. The titles of the stories are: 1) The Ride of Your Life 2) Scout's Honor 3) My Sister Is A Real Brat 4) Home Sweet Home 5) Freaks. This reviewer does not want to tell you the stories, but you can probably guess the themes of the tales from the titles. Parents may want to get this book for their children or even for themselves as it has some stories which may rekindle memories of the Disney ride or make you think about it in a new way. The series has two other titles: "ENTER IF YOU DARE: SCARY TALES FROM THE HAUNTED MANSION' and "CLIMB ABOARD IF YOU DARE: STORIES FROM THE PIRATES OF THE CARRIBEAN" I wish there were exciting books like these for all of the attractions at the Disney parks!
