Bridging Beyond
Bridging Beyond
by Kathleen Benner Duble
"The Bridging Beyond" is a wired, scary, crazy book that makes you think about life in a unusual way it’s a book that will give you nightmares, make you scared to finish, but also make you scared that if you don’t finish than the dreams will stay with you forever. But that’s what makes it so great it’s a book like no others it has scary parts, it has funny parts, and a lot of tragic parts in it .But that’s what makes you want to flip on to the next page and keep reading and that’s, also the kind of book you tell all your friends you half to read. This is really a book I will never forget.

More Horowitz Horror
More Horowitz Horror
by Anthony Horowitz
This is a very good book. The stories are very scary, the one I like the best is the one called "The Sound of Murder". What I like about it is that there is a girl named Katie who gets a new teacher named Mr. Spencer. Every time he comes near her, her hearing would mess up. On the first day of class, she could hear what he was thinking, and one day she heard that he wanted to kill his wife. She tried to tell her best friend, but he did not believe her. She kept hearing him say that he wanted to kill his wife, using a kitchen knife. If you want to know the rest, then read this story. It's number one on my list!

Coraline
by Neil Gaiman
Coraline is a very active and curious girl. She just moved into a new home with her mother and father, and she already doesn't like it. Her neighbor upstairs is a weird man who is obsessed with his pet rats. Although she does enjoy being at her other neighbors' home, Miss Forcible and Miss Spink. They are old women who always talk about the days when they were young actresses on the go. Even though Coraline loves spending time with them, she can't always go to their house. So in her spare time she explores outside and watches T.V. Now, Coraline isn't fond of doing this every day and tries to find other things to do in her free time. She isn't in school yet so there is nothing else to do, and her parents are always busy and telling her to go play. So one day Coraline finds a secret door in the spare bedroom and asks her mom about it. Her mom said she didn't know much about the house but she gave Coraline the key to the secret door. When her mom is out grocery shopping and her dad is working she opens the secret door. There in the door is a mirror image of her world, but much better. There's a cat there that leads her through an adventure as she finds out that this amazing world is all a set up. She has to now fight her way back into the real world.
This book is amazing because it has a lot of adventure that will knock your socks off.

Goosebumps: Welcome to Dead House
Goosebumps: Welcome to Dead House
by R.L. Stine
Josh and Amanda's dad just bought a really old house in Dark Falls. After they get there, Josh and Amanda see no one outside. Josh stays in the car with the dog. Amanda finds her room, but she starts to hear weird noises.
One day, Josh and Amanda's parents go to a party, but after a few hours, they never came back. Josh, Amanda, and their real estate agent went to a cemetery to look for them, and Josh ran into a gravestone with the real estate agent's name on it.
This is a great mystery story to read, because Josh and Amanda's parents seem to be kidnapped by a ghost. Did the whole town once live in the same old house? Everything is spooky in "Welcome to Dead House".

Goosebumps: Welcome to Horrorland
Goosebumps: Welcome to Horrorland
by R.L. Stine
When the Morris family are going on a trip to the zoo gardens, the car breaks down. They had to walk to find a phone. On the way, the Morris family finds an amusement park called Horrorland. A monster comes up out of nowhere and tells them that there are no phones in Horrorland. The Morris family buy four tickets to Horrorland, and they see another monster holding a head. The head says, "stay away from the guillotine ride, it has sharp turns." The Morris family realize that Horrorland has no lines, no crowds, and heart stopping rides...but something is wrong.
I like this book because it has adventure in it. "Horrorland" is a 10 out of 10 because you will like it if you give it a chance. R.L. Stine should write more books involving Horrorland!

Goosebumps: A Night in Terror Tower
A Night in Terror Tower
by R.L. Stine
Two kids named Eddie and Sue are on a trip to London. The kids are on a tour while their parents are at a meeting at their hotel. The kids are in a tour at Terror Tower, which used to be used for executions. The kids find it really familiar. When they meet a black man with a cape who tells them to follow him, it is revealed that he is a Lord High Executioner of the Tower.
This book is awesome because it has horror and fiction in it. People should read it. I would rate this book a 10 out of 10. This book also talks about history and what life was like back in the 1700's.

Mark wants Mr. Griffin to beg them for his freedom, as Mark had to beg to be able to retake Mr. Griffin's class when he was caught plagiarizing his term paper, but Mr. Griffin refuses, so Mark abandons him there, blindfolded and bound. When Susan and David return to check up on Mr. Griffin, they fine something much unexpected. Secrets are revealed and stories are unfolded and by the in of the story you find out who or what KILLED MR GRIFFITH.
