| If You Were a Writer is read and reread several times throughout the year as I teach writing to my Second Graders. The story gives a simple but clear description of what a writer does. It is my point of reference as I introduce each trait of a writer. The children can easily identify with the main character who watches her mother at the typewriter and discovers that she too is a writer. A classroom full of children who believe they are writers, what more can a teacher ask for! This book is ... Read More: |

| I was first read this book in 6th grade by a teacher. It kept everyone's attention and she didn't need to tell anyone to keep quiet. I read it again recently and am planning on reading it in my own classroom. If you have a wild imagination you might want to think twice about reading this. It scared me at the age of 20 into doing a double take before turning off the lights at night. |

| The ending was a little disappointing. I was hoping for more action or something at least. Not just Christina saying it was Professor Mustard in the dinning room. |

| Joan Lowery Nixon is a striking writer. I would read this book over and over again. She shows an evil mood, when she describes the mysterious evil that haunts the old plantation house. Nixon's style is mysterious murders, ghosts, and other things that go bump in the night.
I would recommend this book to people who love a good spine-chilling, horrifying, spooky tale. The exposition could use a little work but otherwise the book is breath-taking.This book gave me the jitters, but a chill that fills my mind with questions. What if ghost do exist? What if they're ... Read More: |

| As an avid suspense and horror reader, the title, "A Deadly Game of Magic", immediately caught my attention. However, when reading this story, the expected feeling of thrill and suspense was replaced with discontent and regret.
In this story, four friends become stranded in, what they believe is, an abandoned house. The friends, Lisa, Teena, Julian, and Bo explore the house, and they find a room full of magic props. Strange things begin to happen, such floating balls of light. These magic tricks start to become more dangerous as the book progresses. The friends predict ... Read More: |

| "Caught In The Act" continues the story of the six Kelly children that were were sent away to get adopted by new families because their mother feels that she cannot afford to keep them. I read the first book in the series called "A Family Apart" and it was about the children getting adopted by new families and the second part was about Frances Kelly's adventures with her family. This book talks about how Michael Kelly is doing with the Friedrichs. Mike's main concern is that he believes that the Friedrichs are hiding something from him. He thinks this because he overheard a conversation about ... Read More: |
