Dracula
by Bram Stoker
View in Library Catalog
book cover


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.

This book is a dazzling book that is fit for high level readers. This story is about a young man who joined the Musketeers. He was enemies against the Cardinal. A big portion of this book was written about him and Milady. The man fell in love with Milady, who was working for the Cardinal. They had a massive fight in her house. Milady ran away, and the man was left in her tracks. When she was put in prison, she charmed the guard to let her go free. Then, the musketeers and the man caught her and murdered her. The mysterious part of the story was when the queen lost her diamond studs. The king was preparing a ball. He went to a craftsman to make two diamond studs tomorrow. Then, she received two diamond studs in the mail and two from the craftsman. So now she has fourteen studs! I learned from this story that you should trust true people.

Fawn Creek

book cover


This is a great story. It is about twelve seventh graders and every chapter was at a different kids perspective. In the story, a New girl named orchid moves into town. She has a flower in her hair, and she has been to many places. She was very mysterious. All people think she is odd. They are all ready for the dance. Jamie’s friend Renni is going there to. Greyson and Dorothy are like nothings, and Orchid fits right in. Dorothy always has a fine day, and she pays attention and she is not at the same time. I also forgot to tell you that Jamie’s parents owned a very nice, successful sea food restaurant. Fawn creek is like a barrier. You can’t see what anything is happening unless you travel. One day, Orchid told them a new game! It was called mirror mirror, and The way you play it is you tell everyone something that sliced you into two, and the next person complimented the person greatly. At the dance, Renni spilled the beans. Screamed out that Orchid told all lies! Her name was not even Orchid! They had a massive fight, and Greyson punches Renni and he goes to the principals office. After that, everything’s normal. My favorite part was when Jamie played mirror mirror with her sister, Madeline.

This is a lovely story about a girl named Penny. She loves pecan ice cream and thinks about her dead dad. She and her cousin have many cool times, and she had a massive injury! She is eleven, and at the beginning, she works for her uncle. It is at the butcher shop and she and her cousin Frankie help deliver stuff. She gets bullied by Veronica, and that was not very cool. At her birthday, she gets a dress, dancing shoes from her favorite aunt, and more! There was a humongous Cake! The next day, when she was riding her bike, she broke her arm for months! When school started, she was still in the hospital! She had a little girl and every day when he uncles bring food, she gives it all to the girl. We can acknowledge this by seeing that penny is very generous. When the girl dies two days later, a girl named Vivian moved next to her. She just got her appedemix removed, and it hurt a lot. They chatted for a long time! Oh, I forgot to tell you Pennie’s favorite Gift! It was two tickets to the Brooklyn dodgers game! Aka. Dem Bums. My favorite part is when penny finds out that his dad died in olakhama war. This is very important information to Penny.

I liked it because it is a crazy story of an evil Guinea Pig turning cats into zombies and the bad guys had to figure out how to help change them back. Thank goodness Granny was able to make a potion that saved the day.
