Customer Reviews

for my niece

My niece (11) loves horror and goosebumps through the ages. So, I got her the 3 books in the Cataluna Chronicles. Her review: 2 thumbs up!

cataluna

Cataluna is eye popping with excitement .Cathrine goes on a painful, mission to run away, but finds something else. If you like the goose bump books then this is the book for you. Cathrine has a lot of problems so she tries to take it out on others by killing them. Be ready to learn more. This book is mostly about survival. Cathrine has to run away because every one wants to kill her because she's bad luck. At one point they almost kill her. So she's out for revenge, but while she runs away she has to find food and water. Cathrine is a very easy person to relate to. These are some of the feelings in the book. Revenge Cathrine wants revenge. Even her family turns on her so she is sad. Painful trying to survive. Shamed that no one likes her. Scared that they will kill her. Cataluna takes place in 1668.She runs into a forest and they had more trees back then now. They tried to hang her with a rope. And she hinds in an old shack. The myth that she was born under the bad luck moon is a really old myth. Overall this book is good and a little scary but like I said if you like the goose bump books then this is the book for you. I assure you after you read the first chapter you won't be able to put the book down. I give this book a rating of ten. After you read the book answer some of these questions: will she survive, how, is she really bad luck, will anyone like her. Read it to find out Cathrine, s special power.
