A Very Unfortunate Website!
Have you heard of Lemony Snicket and the Series of Unfortunate Events? The ten volume series is available in the TIS library, thanks to a generous donation by a former teacher. Did you also know that you can read the first book in the series, The Bad Beginning, on Lemony Snicket’s website?
First, listen to Lemony Snicket explain about this new situation.

Then, go here to read The Bad Beginning online.
But, be careful! As Lemony Snicket warns you, his site is VERY UNPLEASANT!
Book Review by SI: Araminta Spookie 2: The Sword in the Grotto
I read the book Araminta Spookie 2: The Sword in the Grotto by Angie Sage. This book is about two girls, Wanda and Araminta, who need to find a present for Sir Horace’s five hundredth birthday. They found what they want to give him, but a portcullis trapped them. This story took place in a cave and a haunted house. The eight characters in the house include ghosts and wizards. My favorite character is Edmund, who is a ghost. I like him because he is brave and helpful. Funny things happened like Uncle Drac falling out of his bedroom. I recommend this book because it is funny and gives many details. On a scale of 1 to 10, I would give this book an 8.

Book Review by MF: Araminta Spookie 2: The Sword in the Grotto
I read a book called Araminta Spookie 2: The Sword in the Grotto. The author is Angie Sage. The story is about Wanda and Araminta finding a sword for Sir Horace’s birthday. Wanda is interesting because she is crazy! Uncle Drac is Araminta’s Uncle. The funniest part of the story is when Uncle Drac fell out of his sleeping bag and squished his friend Big Bat. I liked the character Sir Horace because he is a ghost and a knight. I would recommend this book because it has a lot of details and a good ending. I would give this book a score of 10 out of 10.
