Books, books, books

I am a little behind reviewing latest releases because I have been trying to catch up on some classics. Recently, I've read "Uncle Tom's Cabin", "Fahrenheit 451", and "The Autobiography of Miss Jane Pittman". They all deserve to be classics.

For fun I recommend "I'd Tell You I Love You, But Then I'd Have to Kill You" for 7th grade up, and for elementary, "Scared Witless". The later is a collection of short scary stories with tips on telling them effectively. "The Stranger" by Chris Van Allsburg, "The Ghost-Eye Tree" by Bill Martin, Jr., and "Diane Goode's Book of Scary Stories and Rhymes" are all favorites for this month (October). - Happy Reading!
