Hello!

My sister FayeBelle called me to tell me about the sleep-over her son went to this past weekend. His name is Text Reader, and he loves to spend the night with his good friend, Rapid Reader. Rapid Reader lives in a big old house at the edge of the woods. Some people have said the house is haunted and has ghosts in it. Well, last Saturday night, Rapid Reader and Text Reader decided to play a trick on Rapid Reader's sister, Autherine. When everyone had gone to bed, the two boys went up into the attic and made strange noises trying to scare his sister. Autherine slept so soundly, she never heard them, so their trick didn't work. I guess the boys are not good haunters.

They should have hired ghosts to do the trick for them, like the ghost agency in a great book I read last week. It is a book about boys who try to hire ghosts in order to scare someone to death. The book was really exciting, and if you like ghost stories and mysteries, you'll love it, too. To read more about it, you'll want to check our review of DIAL-A-GHOST. I know my nephew would never want to hurt anyone, so I am glad they didn't scare Autherine to death!

Have you ever played a trick on someone? Did they get mad at you? My sister used to play tricks on me all the time. When we were young worms, she used to put bags of ice in my bed under the blankets. When I got into bed, I nearly froze to death until the bed warmed up. Brrrrrrrr! I always check under my blankets before I get into bed because of her.

I just read one of the Lemony Snicket books about the Baudelaire orphans and their terrible lives and misadventures. I recommend them to all of you who are not looking for a book with another happy ending but for a book that will really get you involved!

hi! I think that this site is a brill site for all the ready readers around the world. I love the way everyone cooperates to build this site! Anyway, I really like the book called "The Witches". The author has such imaginative to make an exciting book. All those readers out there who haven't read "The Witches" better read it now!!!

I have read the book 'Homecoming', too. It's a good book:Big with lots of description. It has adventure, mystery, and sadness. I really like that book. I wonder how the author wrote it?

I read a great book called Holes. It is a large but good book and when you get into it you can't stop reading it. I give this book a 5+ stars for its great advantages of reading.

Which Witch? is a really good book.I am happy that someone mentioned it.Also,I think you should read the book Witch Weekely. It's about these 3 kids who find out they are witches and they burn witches.A box comes in the class and a surprise comes-there are more witches and wizards then you think! This is a fiction book.

Thank you to the person who wrote about the Harry Potter,You're the Best! I will definetly be looking at for that one!!!!!!!

The next Harry Potter book will be called Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix. I have no idea(I used to know)when it is coming out.Sorry!!!

A Series of Unfortunate Events Series REALLY does rule! It's not really sad,it's FUNNY!!!! I have read books 1 2 3 4 & 6...........I need to get 5.I got it in a book order-when will it arive?

*****

I found Philip Pullman's trilogy fascinating (I would like to point out that the first book has another name "The Northern Lights") I  like the way he uses parts of us which we all have only in some worlds can you see namely your dæmon.
do you know any other good books of a similar nature (multi world)

You should put a book called  "'She who laughs last'' on your  website it's a great  book!

In the last newsletter, someone asked about the next Harry Potter book.  The title will be Harry Potter and the Order of the Pheonix.  This may change, however, knowing J.K. Rowling.  She always keeps us readers on our toes! :-)  Last I heard, it should be coming out in June or July of this year.  I can't wait!!  Have fun reading.....

I love Nancy Drew books. Sharon Creech is the best author ever!
