chastens review

Abby thinks she has seen a gohst. At a drama camp that she went to where she had to play a part of a woman in the civil war. And now she thinks the woman is haunting her. So she tells her friend Harper about it and they try to get mony so they can runaway and figure out what she wants. So they dress up in old girlscouts uniforms and try to get money from people saying its for hurricane victomes. Then they go to try and find the gohst.

Great book, but a little too....short

You could blame me.....it was a great book, but I found the solution too simple. I mean, Abby is faced with a seemingly impossible and unusual situation, and she and her friend solve it within a matter of a week. Yeah, right. I mean, the book was good, and maybe I just grew out of it. I read it numerous times, and I don't recall what I thought 2 years ago when I first read it. I haven't read any other books by the author, but this one was pleasing. Maybe I will try to find more selections by her.

Westside fourth grader loves Here and Then

Here and Then was a book about a little girl and her dreams. The setting was a real place because it took place in Kentucky.The characters are believable because they went to school and had regular friends.The main character was not a likeable person because she was bossy a whole lot. Yes, I liked the book because she has a lot of dreams. My favorite part of the story is when they were on the bed eating nachos because I like to eat nachos. The main character learned that if you believe in something it might happen. I would recommened this book to a friend because it is a ghost story. If my friend liked this book he might like The Pizza the Size of the Sun and Poppy.
