book cover


This book is a wonderful tale about a old man named Scrooge, whose business partner named Marley. Scrooge was Grumpy man who was never in the Christmas spirit. But then, one night, he was visited by Marleys ghost. It told Scrooge that next night, he would be visited by three ghosts. One of Christmas past, Christmas present, and Christmas yet to come. At one am exactly. Scrooge was terrified, the next night, Scrooge woke up because of the ghost. The ghost of Christmas past. It teleported Scrooge to a mysterious world. The ghost explained that this was Christmas past. Then, on the dirt road, came a hoard of boys riding horses. Scrooge could name each boy one by one. Then, he appeared into a room with a jolly man in it. He was the Ghost of Christmas present, he showed a shadow of Bobs family, his clerk, they were poor and they had a small goose, a tiny soup, and a bowl of berries. All because Scrooge wasn’t increasing his salary. The Ghost of Christmas yet to come visited him and showed him to a coffin. He pointed at the sheet, covering a man’s body. Scrooge had the message in his mind, take off the cover. Scrooge was to scared to do it, so the ghost took him to a graveyard. The gravestone had his name on it! The second he read it, he woke up. From now on, he treated people with respect. I like this book because Scrooge learns a very important lesson, to treat people with kindness, my favorite part was when Scrooge treated people with kindness.

This is a great book but I rated it four stars because there was to much talking. This story is about these two girls swapping their houses for vacation. Ones. Name was Allie that dreamed of becoming a spy, and Sage, who is very interested in her Crystal collection. They hatch a plan to get her to get Sages dad to come to Where Allie lives. 1st, Sage calls her dad and tells him that her mother was badly hurt, so she had to go to the hospital. Second, he asked where she was. She replied that she was at Allie’s friends house. She told Allie to call her in the voice of her friends mom. When he called, Allie replied in the voice of a mom. Then, Allie finds out that her diary is lost, and she found out who it was… It was her cruel neighbor Chloe Benton! Back at Sages, Sages mom went to the town. My favorite part was when Allie goes to surf camp. I learned from this story that you always can find a friend.

Dracula
by Bram Stoker

Overall, I loved reading this book. The plot came together nicely and the characters were both compelling, and interesting to learn about. Dracula wasn't quite "horror" in the way that I was used to, instead of jump scares and gore, it used descriptions and a sense of suspense to build the reader's anxiety. The entire time that I was reading, I felt like the characters were real, which not many horror books can do. It didn't use cliches at all, the plot twists were well thought out and all made sense with what information the book had supplied previously. My only note is that there were a lot of casual sexist remarks made toward the middle, which was off-putting for me, even though I know that this book was made during a time when that was considered okay. It took me a lot of time to get through, but Dracula was definitely worth the read.

I loved City Spies because I think it's cool since it has spies in it and all of the different groups are working to take down the same one. Also I loved that there were a lot of kids with spy abilities like hacking.
