The Hostile Hospital (A Series of Unfortunate Events Book 8)



The Hostile Hospital (A Series of Unfortunate Events Book 8)

Author: Lemony Snicket



Summary:
This is a book about three children named Violet, Klaus, and Sunny. They are trying to escape from the police because they've been accused of murder.

My Opinion:
I really liked this book (and the series), the author uses a lot of details. I think the author has written it so that I get lost in the book. I could not put this book down. An excellent read!

Rating: 5 stars (out of 5)

Allie's Finkle's Rules for Girls: Moving Day



Allie Finkle's Rules for Girls
: Moving Day
Author: Meg Cabot


Summary:
When Allie Finkle's parents move into a new home in a different community, 9 year-old Allie finds herself in a new school faced with making new friends. Allie's new house is full of creaks and would be secret passages leaving Allie feeling uncertain about her new surroundings.

My Opinion:
I like this book because it's about a girl who went through the same things I recently went through. I like the way Meg Cabot made it sound like a 9 year-old was telling the story herself. Overall, I thought this story was funny and Meg's style of writing made it easy to read.
