Hollywood, Dead Ahead is the fifth book in the 43 Old Cemetery Road series. It features a man named Ignatius B. Grumply, a ghost named Olive C. Spence, and a boy named Seymour Hope, all of whom are living together in Spence Mansion as each others' adopted family. The book starts with film producer Moe Block Busters, who wants to make a movie based on their book. But when the trio arrives in Hollywood, they find some serious problems with the script, the casting, and most of all the contract Ignatius signed. Soon Olive digs up some dirty secrets, involving the frightening plans of Moe and his team of directors. Those plans, however, will soon go astray, because Olive is exactly the right person (or ghost) to come up with some creative schemes of her own. I definitely thought this book was darker than the other four in the series, particularly because of the despicable plans of the movie producers. This wasn't necessarily a bad thing, especially for older readers, such as me. It's possible their frightening intentions have the capability of scaring younger readers, but for me it made the story the most fascinating and captivating of all. This book was really creative and unique, as is the rest of the series and other books by Kate and Sarah Klise. I very much enjoyed the way it was written in letters, newspapers, contracts, plane tickets, post cards, drawings, and other paper materials. The addition of a ghost who can only communicate through writing definitely helped with dialogue, which I can see being a very difficult thing to deal with in this style of writing. Overall, I loved the book's fast-paced and creative style. It was a quick read, a great book to blow through as soon as I get a few hours of alone time. I would recommend this series in general for 10-12 year olds, but even older readers like me can definitely get a kick out of them.

This was a great read for anyone who loves either magic ,the Grimmtastic Girls series, or Red Riding Hood .The twist and turns of her path have yet to be determined .Is Wolfgang the bad guy in this story? Or is EVIL up to something once more ?

I liked this book. The pictures are cool. I like it because I took karate, and I like it because it is funny. This book is a good one to read with a little sister or brother, or with Mom and Dad.

"Chomp" by Carl Hiaasen is a very entertaining story about a boy named Wahoo Cray. He and his father are animal wranglers, and they tame wild animals, such as alligators, in their backyard. A popular reality TV show called 'Expedition Survival!' invites Wahoo and his father to help on set because they using their animals. Wahoo embarks on a journey that involves his friend Tuna, her father (a drunkard and a gunman), and the famous Derek Badger, who is the star of the show. Wahoo and the 'crew' face dilemmas during filming; for example, Derek Badger goes missing, and Tuna's father is after his daughter who runs away from him. Read this book to find out how these problems are solved!

I like this book because I love ballet too. I wanted to quit just like Lexy in the book. I like that she taught furry blue giants dance lessons because it was funny. My favorite part was when they did the show.

I LOVE THIS BOOK!!! so great for twilight fane!! TEAM EDWARD FOREVER YAYYYYYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!!

I am loving this book, it is about competitive dancers Scarlett, Gracie, Liberty, Rochelle and Bria and they are trying to find out how to get their teacher Miss. Toni and their rivals teacher to be friends again. When the teachers were dancing they got in this HUGE fight and now they never want to talk to each other ever again. I would recommend this book to dancers because if you are not a dancer you might not under stand lots of it.

This was a really good mystery! It had you hanging on until the very end, and it had lots of twists and turns. I would recommend it to any mystery fan.

I loved this book because there were missing paintings. A girl named Petra dreamed about chasing the artist named Vermeerś painting. She didn´t know that her dream was real. So she dressed up as her dream for Halloween. A boy named Calder said he had the exact painting at home, but Petra never new that. Since she dreamed about the painting, she wanted to track down Vermeer. Read this mystery because even the FBI can not solve it!

I really like this book, because it talks about the surprising and interesting life about people who are adopted with 2 dads and 3 brothers. Each boy has something new going on. This book keeps you wondering, and if you like to think ahead, I strongly suggest this book to read.
