When her younger brother Michael acts strange and Harper is worried. She finds out that her brother is being possessed by a bad ghost. Harper has to save her brother and banish the ghost with help of some friends. Will Harper save Michael? You'll have to read the book to find out! Definitely a spine chiller book and perfect for Halloween or any other time in the year.

The Whizz Pop Chocolate Shop

The Whizz Pop Chocolate Shop

By Kate Saunders

The Whizz Pop Chocolate shop was a gloriously chocolatey read, delivering all the delicious adventures it promises. It's unlike most books I've read, with immortal talking cats and rats, ghost elephants, and magic chocolate, but that just makes it all the more memorable. Kate Saunders did an excellent job at weaving together a believable and magic story about how two twins move into their great-great-great-great Uncle Pierre's home and get wrapped up in "government" work, only for there to be a tragic kidnapping that makes a great story about how even evil people have a soft spot in their hearts. "How kind of you to cry for me; I really don't deserve it." The only critisizement I have is that the drama in this book is blunt. For example, instead of "He leapt off the train like a cat and hit the gravel hard. His pulse wouldn't stop pounding." it would be "He jumped off the train and landed on a patch of gravel." Other than that, it was a unique book that I will think of every time I enjoy smooth, rich chocolate.

Watch the Sky

By Kirsten Hubbard

Jory Birch’s family is like no other. Jory’s stepfather, Caleb, is warning the family of some kind of danger that will approach dangerously close. He starts doing strange stuff to “protect” the family. After months, Jory doesn’t trust his stepfather all that much, Caleb and his signs are just too much. Opening up a new side at school, Jody starts to make friends, even though Caleb asks him to keep his guard up. He makes friends with a girl named Alice and a boy named Erik. After some close calls, he decides not to keep in touch with them after all. Soon, Caleb warns the family that the danger is coming, and is right in their backyard. A huge canyon is in the backyard and Caleb says to start digging. The family starts to sleep less, and Jory starts not doing so well at school - including some humiliating phone calls from his teacher. Jory and his stepsister Kit decide not really to trust their father. Eventually, Caleb betrays them all by revealing he has sent away Kit to keep the family “safe”, and Jory’s mom is horrified and heartbroken. Caleb runs away and now, Jory finally has a peaceful life. An amazing story! I enjoyed the cliffhangers and I love the cover! I recommend this to 9 -10 year olds.

By Chris Crutcher

Great plot and message. The theme of the story is rather sad yet very strong. I would strongly recommend this book to those who can cope with mature themes. But one way or the other, there really is a bit of heart ache near the end of the book.
