I read the book, Coraline and really liked it. Can't wait to see the movie!
ReplyDeleteI read The book True Confessions of Charlotte Doyle. It was a fantastic book. It is about a 13 year old girl living in the past. She is on a ship, travling to london. She is the only girl on the ship and the captin is horrible. The whole crew hates the captin. She gets stuck in sticking situations. This book is exiting and full of action. I could not put the book down. If you like a thrilling tale then you should read True Confessions of Charlotte Doyle.
ReplyDeleteI read the Graveyard book by Neil Gaiman. It was okay if you like long stories about ghosts. I don't think I would recommend it otherwise.
