The Swallow I am reading The Swallow by Charis Cotter, it is a fantastic fiction book. This book is about two girls named Polly Laise and Winnifred Rose McPherson. Polly wants to see ghost badly but rose is different she wants to stop seeing ghost because she is bewitched. When the two of them met in their attics, they said to meet at the cemetery to see each other. Then They met each other at the cemetery, Rose told Polly to run because the ghost were coming to scare them, but suddenly Rose fell on a grave that had her name on it,“ Winnifred Rose McPherson.” They had to find out why Rose’s name was on the grave. They asked everyone, especially Kendrick, Rose’s nanny and she told about the other Winnifred Rose McPherson. I think this book is a fantastic fiction book because it is very detailed I think that because Chris Cotter really explained why they were there, and etc. I recommend this book to ages 9 - 11 because there are some hard words that some kids would not understand. Do you think that Rose and Polly will find out why Rose’s name was on the grave??

Genre: Comedy and Adventure Theme: friendship makes life more fun and enjoyable And then it happened is a 12 part book series. Each book is a collection of funny short stories, about three best friends who get into a lot of trouble coming up with stupid but creative ideas. In every story the boys make up a problem for themselves and some crazy solution. Something always goes wrong and that's where the line “and then it happened” appears. The three main characters are Gordon, Paulo and the narrator whose name was never told. Gordon is the idea maker, Paulo is the handy man and the narrator tells the stories from his perspective. The book takes place at their 3 houses, at school and in their communities. The town is small and only has 4 police cars. I really enjoyed reading the first 4 books of the series. They are funny and easy to read. Each story is 3 to 6 pages and I recommend this book to 8 to 11 year old boys.
