__A Series of Unfortunate Events__

This is an amazing and exciting book! The tittle is __A Series of Unfortunate Events__ and the amazing author is Lemony Snicket. This story takes place at Count Olof's house and is as scary as a crocodile. The main character is Violet Baudelaire who is 12. The problem is her house burns down and she looses a lot of her fortune. I recommend this book becouse it shows a lot of emotion and friendly love, like when the three siblings give love to one another when they are sad or upset.

__The Case of the Barfy Birthday__

Is there really a ghost in the tree house? You can find out when you read __The Case of the Barfy Birthday__ by Michele Torrey. The story takes place in Drake’s neighborhood. Drake and Nell are both the smartest scientists in 5th grade. They decided to make their own business and solve mysteries. But Frisco, Drake and Nell’s classmate, thinks he's smarter than them and causes problems. I recommend this book because there's a bunch of exciting mysteries to solve. My favorite case is the one about the tree house and the ghost, BOO!

__The Curse of Camp Cold Lake__

__The Curse of Camp Cold Lake__ will make you never want to go in a lake ever again. __The Curse of Camp Cold Lake__ by R.L.Stine, is a spooky but good book. It is set at a camp in a woodsy forest and the main characters name is Sarah. Sarah is tall and skinny with blonde hair. The problem is that a ghost girl named Della, is trying to kill her. I recommend this book because they show, not tell and the author always keeps you guessing and on your toes.
