The victim was believed to be murdered by the supernatural hound following the Baskerville curse. This curse is a legend that runs through the family originating from the evil act of Sir Hugo’s when he kidnapped a girl. Upon arrival at the moor after his uncle's tragic murder, Sir Henry Baskerville decides to come back and investigate this curse with Holmes and Watson. To solve the mystery, the all collect different peices of the puzzle after meeting several suspects. One specific suspect was Stapleton whom they were able to track his history and find out that he lied about his sister who was actually his wife. At this point, Holmes digs in and even recognizes that Stapleton actually resembles Hugo's portrait, which might mean a desire for the Baskerville wealth.

The hound was found killed later when Stapleton instructed the hound to attack Sir Henry, when he was invited to the household. As a naturalist Stapleton treated others as animals as he treated his wife whom he beat after disrespecting and not participating in his plans . After spending a lot of time on the moor and on this case Sherlock Holmes and Watson are winners once again.

Virginia was a great woman. If she was never born, World War Two might be a lot more longer and more people ( mostly Jewish people) might suffer and die. Anne Frank was one of these people. She risked her life while trying to gather information that might help the Allied forces win this war. Read this book to find out more!!

By Book Summaries and Notes

The book monster is a really great book. It keeps you thinking and on the edge of your seat. It is about a boy named Steve Harmon who is on trial for the murder of a drug store owner. The book monster is the movie script of the movie monster Steve Harmon is writing. The movie is the story of the trial and everything that has happened. It has a lot of arguments, conflict, dialogue, and mystery. I hope you will take the time to read the book monster. It is worth it.

I didn't like this book at all!!!! I thought it was very boring and it said the same inappropriate word many times. I would recommend this book to many 6th or 7th graders starting to learn WWll, but if you already read a book about WWll or know about it, this book would not be right for you.

The Pearl (The Originals)

By JOHN STEINBECK

wow, i don't know what to say besides THIS BOOK WAS EXCELLENT!!! In every single chapter drama and even a little accidental comedy is introduced. There are constant twists, changes in characters ('wink wink kino') and I am always satisfied with the chapter. I would recommend this book to any kid over 10 and any adult or teenager. I am sure you will at least love it!
