Dead End in Norvelt (Norvelt Series)
By Jack Gantos
Before reading this book I was a little skeptical, but it turned out to be an amazing book. I read it with my class, because the teacher assigned it to us and couldn't put it down. Though it isn't entirely true story, the author, Jack Gantos, used his name for the main character and some characters are based off real people. Jack, a kid who has grown up in Norvelt his whole life, and when nervous gets bloody noses, is just starting summer vacation. But when he does some things that upsets his mother and one final act to set her off, he finds himself spending his time with Miss Volker, the old woman nearby, and the rest grounded in his house. Miss Volker has been it Norvelt her whole life and knows everyone there so she's in charge off the obituaries for the local paper. But whats starts as a normal summer job (against Jack's will) , turns into a mystery as the old ladies of Norvelt start dropping dead and can only take Miss Volker and Jack to get to the bottom of. It is a very fun book that will be making you beg for the second, just like it did to me, but luckily it will be coming out sooooon!!!!!!!

The House of Dies Drear
By Virginia Hamilton
This magnificent book is filled with heaps of shocking adventures. However, the House of Dies Drear, at some points is very dull and boring. I was expecting this book to be very frightening but the whole plot of the book was not very creepy or alarming. The House of Dies Drear is filled with numerous adventures. One of them was when Thomas and Mr.Smalls ventured into Mr.Pluto's cave. Another adventure They had was at the beginning of the book. When Thomas went in the tunnels under the house he heard a o'ing sound. One last adventure the Smalls had was when they scared away the Darrow boys. Pluto was sick and the Darrow boys were trying to find the hidden treasure. The Smalls had to help Pluto and Mayhew protect the treasures past. The whole book was fantastic but I was expecting this book to be very spooky but the whole plot was not very creepy. At some points of the book in the book l could tell the author was trying to make it eerie but it didn't work out. Now l can see some people getting scared but to me it just didn't have that effect. Perhaps like at the beginning when it was very slow.

The Hound of the Baskervilles (A Penguin Classics Hardcover)
By Sir Arthur Conan Doyle
Habiba Sallam Hound of Baskervilles Book Review A book that is small in size can never meet the beauty standards of literature and possess its richness in metaphorical comparisons. However, this rule was broken in crime thriller novel written by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle and titled The Hound of the Baskerville. Sherlock Holmes along with his assistant Watson, notable for their talent in solving mysteries are called upon the moor by James Mortimer to investigate the murder of his patient and family friend. 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. It has come to Watson that the Barrymore's who were the family servants found a letter signatured LL who was Laura Lyons. They decided to visit her and told her about Stapleton's marriage who spilled the beans about the hound and helped them resolve the curse. Fortunately, Stapleton trained his hound to attack the Baskerville whom was given Sir Henry’s belongings to smell but the younger sibling of the Mrs. Barrymore was dressed in Sir Henry’s clothes. 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.
