I would recommend the graveyard book to anyone who likes a scary fantasy book with very interesting characters that instantly hooks you into the book.The first chapter of the book is excellent and very good describing the mood and the theme of the book.The graveyard book is a very dense book but if you really stop and ask yourself questions you will understand the book better.

Graveyard Book Review and Recommendation
The graveyard book would be a good book for you if you like fantasy and horror. It takes place in a graveyard in England. There is a person trying to kill the main character Nobody Owens {Bod}. He has a family but they are killed by the killer named the Man Jack. This is how the book begins. Afterward, people in an abanded graveyard adopt him. The people in the graveyard have been dead for almost 500 years. He has lots of adventures in the graveyard. He even goes outside the graveyard which is not safe for him. I think the graveyard book is a very good book because the book got very scary. If you like scary books this would be a good book for you hope you like the book. by: fly to cheese
Graveyard Book Review and Recommendation
The graveyard book WAS AWESOME!! I would totally read this book with a partner. The reason I would read this with a partner is because is because some of the events and language (British words) are hard to understand, so it helps to discuss it with someone else. This book was about a baby who is being hunted by a man named THE MAN JACK! The baby (Bod is his name) went into a graveyard and got adopted by GHOSTS and got the freedom of the graveyard.The freedom of the graveyard means you can get ghost POWERS! As Bod grows up in the graveyard the man jack FAILS to KILL him!

Rachel Carson-Pioneer of Ecology Review
Rachel Carson, what an extraordinary woman! She was the first woman to be a official scientist for the government. She had a knack for writing, but in college she decided to be a scientist. She was against the use of pesticides, and wanted to put a stop to it. That was when she wrote "Silent Spring" an article telling how everyone would die from the poisoning from DDT, and how there would be no birds to hear when spring comes. the article was very touching, but sadly Rachel Carson did not live to see it published. on April 4, 1964 Rachel Carson's life was taken by cancer. She did not get to hear the chirping of the birds that spring. Rachel Carson had a very silent spring. It was a very sorrowful year for us all, but the end as they say is a new beginning. I usually don't like nonfiction but this book was very well written from start to finish.

Stargirl-Book Review and Recommendation
The book we read is Star girl.Star girl is by Jerry Spinelli. The book Stargirl takes place in Arizona. here are Two different points of view of the book star girl.1Some main events in this story is when star girl goes to a basket ball game as a cheer leader and cheers for e other team. her team mates and the rest of the basket ball fans get mad at her and she is know longer popular.the second main event is when Stargirl makes a big sign tat says STARGIRL LOVES LEO! and Leo gets really mad.
The second point of veiw is Star girl is about a girl who goes to high school and is very diffent.Also,it's about Leo falling in love with Star girl (their relationhip goes up and down in the story).
One of our favorite parts in the book is when star girl sings to Leo when it is not even his birthday. Another favorite part is when after Star girl becomes normal she goes back to how she really is and doesn't care what other people think of her.I recommend Stargirl for people who like's deep storys.Also for (girls) who like the boyfriend girlfriend thing! I whold rate this book 4 stars out of 5 stars because it is a really good book but in some parts of the storry it is hard to understand. And Stargirl is a great character with a lot of personality i can imagine exactly what Stargirl looks like.

The Graveyard Book
The Graveyard Book by Neil Gaiman is an intense mystery book. The main character is Bod. He is raised by ghosts because his parents and siblings re murdered by The Man Jack.
Jack is sent to kill Bod's family because.... you have to read the book! His "parents" are Mr. and Mrs. Owens. They're ghosts who where chosen to become Bod's parents because later his mother died, her spirit came to the Owens when they found him. She screamed "My baby!" and the Owens knew they had to take him. His guardian is Silas, who gives him food and water to survive.
Bod is about 1-2 years older every chapter. When Bod is 5, he meets a girl named Scarlet. They get separated because Scarlet moved. Years later, they meet up again.
Scarlet had a dream about him after she saw him, she knew she recognized him!
My favorite part of the book is that the author uses such good description. I loved the whole book! It makes you feel like you're really there!
I recommend this book to anyone who likes intense mystery books. The book turned out differently then I thought.... Either way, I loved the book! It's a bit scary because I listened the the author read the book on the computer. He has a scary English accent. It made the book more scary. I recommend this book to anyone that likes intense, scary, mystery books.
