Chapter Books

This book is special because it actually has a moral that kids can live by. This moral that I am talking about is that the harder the obstacles that you and a loved one overcome, the closer you become. I think that this moral is definitely something to live by."

5th grader Sarah says, "This book is about the young Johnny Dixon who finds a blue figurine in a church basement and is thrown into a terrifying adventure that may cost him his life. He is given a ring from a mysterious stranger and soon he is sure he will die. But lucky for him there is his old friend Professor Childermass. Can Professor Childermass save Johnny and himself from the horrifying rampage of the ghost of Father Baart? This book pus you in a page turning frenzy!!!"

5th grader Rahul says, "This book is about a girl who plays a role in a haunted house. She can sense feelings. Then her brother holds a bowl and feels a cold wind. She sees a ghost and has to find out what the ghost is trying to tell her. The girl has a good role in Horror in the Haunted House You should read the book."

5th grader Jessi says, "This book is about a girl who goes to an annual fair in her town. Her friend and her brother meet her there later with his friend. Her brother gets kidnapped by a robber and gets thrown into a boat that takes him around and around a slimy, scary, cave ride. His sister finds out he is missing and she goes into the cave to look for him. She finds him there unconscious in the water and hoists him up onto another boat with her. Then she gets out of the boat and pulls it along because the ride has stopped. She avoids the thief by just a hair and sneaks both of them out of the cave to her parents. It turns out that there was more than one thief and they get caught and arrested. Both the brother and sister's names were in the newspaper the next day and they were famous, again. I think this book is special because it is sort of like a sequel to another book that Peg Kehret wrote called Horror at the Haunted House!"

5th grader Sara says, "A brother and sister find out their dad is experimenting with plants and gets a little carried away. They find out that "it" may not be their dad. I thought this was a really good book because it got me hooked on it and I wanted more."
