The Swallow: A Ghost Story

The Swallow: A Ghost Story

By Charis Cotter

The Swallow I am reading The Swallow by Charis Cotter, it is a fantastic fiction book. This book is about two girls named Polly Laise and Winnifred Rose McPherson. Polly wants to see ghost badly but rose is different she wants to stop seeing ghost because she is bewitched. When the two of them met in their attics, they said to meet at the cemetery to see each other. Then They met each other at the cemetery, Rose told Polly to run because the ghost were coming to scare them, but suddenly Rose fell on a grave that had her name on it,“ Winnifred Rose McPherson.” They had to find out why Rose’s name was on the grave. They asked everyone, especially Kendrick, Rose’s nanny and she told about the other Winnifred Rose McPherson. I think this book is a fantastic fiction book because it is very detailed I think that because Chris Cotter really explained why they were there, and etc. I recommend this book to ages 9 - 11 because there are some hard words that some kids would not understand. Do you think that Rose and Polly will find out why Rose’s name was on the grave??

The Great Trouble: A Mystery of London, the Blue Death, and a Boy Called Eel

Eel a 13-year old boy spends most of his time on a river catching and selling fishes because he lives and an orphan with his brother and he gets hunted by Fisheye Bill Tyler (eel's stepfather). Eel has been having a rough time throughout his adventure to to prove Dr.Snow's theory about a deadly cholera. But, eel can't stay even in Snow's shed to seek shelter during nighttime. The only thing eel cares about is getting some help from Dr.JohnSnow and getting Dr.JohnSnow's theory through the neighborhood in order to save everybody from dying. Also, eel needed to make money so he decided to go out and find a job while he lets Mrs.Miggles take care of his little brother. My favorite part of the book is when eel has to make money in order to buy clothes, food and more items for him and his brother, so he left to find a job and trusts Mrs.Miggles to take care of eel's little brother. I personally recommend this book to anyone who likes mystery books, and historical fiction books. Although, there are some parts in the book where you wouldn't want to read this book in the dark. But overall, this book is truly amazing and i urge you to read it!

The Danger Box

The Danger Box

By Blue Balliett

What I thought of it: I didn't like it. The main character was annoying. He was supposed to be "smart" but he didn't even know what some simple words meant. The girl was also annoying.The writing was poor. I was extremely disappointed.
