The Horror (The House on Cherry Street Book II)
Published in Paperback by Scholastic (July, 1995)
Authors: Rodman Philbrick and Lynn Harnett
Average review score:

Great Book!
This book is excellent. I would highly recommed you get it. It is the first out of three. A normal family of four rent a summer house. But their two children have realised they are not alone. The children tell their parents but claim they have a wild imagenation. What is the secret to the old house in cherry street? Well, The children are about to find out.

it was a scary book
The book House On Cherry Street was about Jason his sister Sally and his baby-sitter Katie, It also had an evil which and a ghost named Bobby. It all started happining when Jasons parents went on a buisness trip and katie came to watch them and this ghost Bobby was trying to scare away katie cause it didn't like baby sitters but katie wouldn't beleive any thing that Jason said but things kept on happning and finally she saw it and believed it then the whitch was tyring to get them but sjhe didn't and they got bobby were he belonged.

The horror
I didn't like it at all. I read part 1 of this book and it was good. This book didn't even close to as good as the other one. The author kept describing one thing and that wasn't bad. The only thing that was wrong, is that it ended the complete opposite of what I thought. I didn't like the ending either. At the end of every chapter, it had a good cliffhanger. When you read the next chapter, it didn't have much to do with the cliffhanger or it ended up not being good. The book kept you in suspence most of the time, but it wnt away too fast. You could guess who was making all of the trouble by just reading the first couple chapters. All of the main characters in th book were really cool and they stayed in my mind really well. Overall, I thought that this book wasn't that good, but I liked it a little. It would have been better if the story was mre suspenceful and the cliffhangers would end in a different way. One of the lessons I learned in this novel is never underestimate people no matter who they are. They could do anything at anytime. If you are thinking of reading this book, I wouldn't recommend it. I would grade this book a 2 on a scale from 1-10. .

EMMERS' Review for THE HAUNTING
I first read this book when I was in the third grade and the way the authors described in detail the adventures of Jason (the main character in the book) in the creepy house that he had just moved into with his family nearly made me throw the book in the freezer out of fear. This is definitly a book that will keep the reader on the edge of their seat and their eyes on the page.

JOSHUA'S REWIEW
I think this book was one of the most mysterious books that I have ever read. It was about a boy who moved to a grand old house on cherry street. It was a great place to raise children. Even ones from the dead!

ONE OF THE BEST YOUNG ADULT THRILLERS OUT THERE!!!!
If your a teen who is sick of those stupid childish "scary" books, then this is the book for you!!! Nonstop horror from begining to end leaves you with a non stop thriller from begining to end!!! STRAIGHT FROM THE 14 YEAR OLDS POINT 'O' VIEW!!

An Invasion of the Body Snatchers type story.
Nick, his sister Jessie, and their friend Frasier knew something strange was going on in their small town from the moment the strange storm hit. When their parents start acting zombie-like, they aren't just suspicious, they are frightened.

Bride of Fortune
Published in Hardcover by Doubleday (June, 1948)
Author: Harnett Kane
Average review score:

Mrs. Jefferson Davis
This bio of Varina Davis begins with her teen years and ends with her successful struggle to get her husband released from prison after the Civil War. Written in a simple style that can be understood by high school students, it has details that would interest Civil War buffs.

Although the author is sympathetic to the South and portrays Jeff and Varina as kind to their slaves, he shows the basic cruelty of slavery and has Varina develop doubts about its justness. The account is fictionalized but based on the writings of Mrs. Davis and others.

Varina Davis was an intelligent woman who shows courage and determination in meeting the trials that befell her family. This is an interesting book, a little dated, but still exciting.


Children of the Wolf (The Werewolf Chronicles , No 2)
Published in Paperback by Scholastic (August, 1996)
Authors: Rodman Philbrick, Lynn Harnett, and Jean Feiwel
Average review score:

i approve
I was very pleased with your book:The werewolf chronicles(book 1), I read it in one day! I found it funny at parts, sad, joyus and it was funny when the boy was caught and he was taken in by the people and he told them his name was "gruff" I found that hilarious, was scary when the werewolves were searching for gruff. I loved the fact of gruff and the wolves being close like family even though they are totally different species. Yes, the book was marvelous I strongly recommend it! I cant wait to read the other two to the trilogy.


Gallant Mrs Stonewall: A Novel Based on the Lives of General and Mrs. Stonewall Jackson
Published in Hardcover by Queens House (June, 1976)
Author: Harnett T. Kane
Average review score:

Good reading
I love this book! It is historical, but fun. I have become very fascinated with the lives of Mary Anna Morrison Jackson and Thomas J. Jackson and this book put it in story form while filled with lots of facts. I think that this is also a good novel for anyone--even if not interested in Jackson or the civil war.

Average review score:

This book gave me the creeps.
I am a male in Mr. Wells' class. We are 5th graders. My name is Phillip. I loved this book because the charecters seemed realistic. The book kept on continuing from 1 book to another exept The Final Nightmare. Jason was pretty brave.Jason is a 12 year old.Jason has a sister named Sally.They go to a summer vacation house but some weird things start to happen.There is a battle they are trapped in it.They can't get out. There is a witch, not the kind you see on t.v. one that is after something.

I've won't take my eyes off it I was get goose bumps when
My name is Cassie I'm a girl in Mr.Wells fifth grade. I go to a school in Arizona. I'm10 years old all most 11 years old. Ireally liked the book because I got goose bumps.I was still scared when there are even other kids in the room. It was dark and the Author did a good job she made the book be real. Jason is 12 years old in the book . He is very brave to go down in the basement. If I went down there I would freaked out. Sally is 4 years old she's Jason's sister.She has an imagenary friend name Bobby.Sally is sometimes annoying. One of the characters to watch for isTHE WITCH! She is so mean . She lives in the basement.The witch needs a bath and to brush her teeth.

I think this book is great, it really scared me.pwells
Im a fifth grader in Mr. Wells class in Tucson, Arizona.My name is trenton. I read all three books.The Finnal Nightmare is my favorite I liked this book alot because it had a great plot. If you like Goosebump books your going to love this book. It was really scary. I think the charitors were really brave. If Iwas in Jason' sittuation I proboly be dead by now, or I would've left the house the 1st day. The setting was great on a hill by a lot of trees. It was kind of spooky.The house looked haunted on the cover. I can see why Jason was scared.I liked the battles that Bobby and the witch had. I never wanted to put the book down.
