I think if you kept the lights on and read it during the daytime you would be ok. :) Just wait until I review another book I read...it was a favorite of mine when I was a youngin' and it was scary!Chelseahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04842569504065110893noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3233074157263039695.post-68564850556016325422014-07-08T19:04:28.691-07:002014-07-08T19:04:28.691-07:00I agree!

The movies are rarely as good as the book. I recently finished The Book Thief and then watched the movie...the book was SO much better! <br /><br /><br />Haha, they need to fix the comment section and allow us to underline! :)Chelseahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04842569504065110893noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3233074157263039695.post-88529694405195430062014-07-08T13:58:44.903-07:002014-07-08T13:58:44.903-07:00I haven't read Unwind, I am going to add it to...I haven't read Unwind, I am going to add it to my list! Thanks for the recommendation. I read somewhere that next year there will be a movie based on Miss Peregrine with Tim Burton directing it. I'm curious to see how the movie turns out.Chelseahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04842569504065110893noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3233074157263039695.post-51445211601358025442014-07-08T12:31:39.537-07:002014-07-08T12:31:39.537-07:00The Seer of Shadows was on the Sunshine State Youn...The Seer of Shadows was on the Sunshine State Young Reader Award list in Florida a few years ago. It was so funny to listen to the kids talking about it as they were reading. Some kids really wanted to read it and others not so much because they were scared. I never did end up reading it. I don't do ghosts....or clowns.

I had a similar experience with Miss Peregrine as you. I really enjoyed the beginning, but had to push myself through it toward the middle and the end. I totally didn't get that "bummed it's over" feeling I usually get with a good book when I finish. I have to check the Avi book! Sounds great. :) Thanks for the great recommendation!<br />PS- it drove me nuts that I couldn't underline the titles of the books, so please just pretend I did. LOL :)<br /><br />Mandy<br /><a href="http://caffeineandlessonplans.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow"> Caffeine and Lesson Plans </a><br />Mandyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05325163877096634791noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3233074157263039695.post-13511655405501457062014-07-08T10:02:43.696-07:002014-07-08T10:02:43.696-07:00Oooh, I must check out the Avi book...LOVE all Avi...Oooh, I must check out the Avi book...LOVE all Avi books, never disappointed! I read Miss Peregrine a few weeks ago and I'm still not quite sure what to think. This book is one of six selected for our county wide English Festival for grs. 7-8. Have you read Unwind by Neak Shusterman? ANOTHER dark novel for this age group.<br /><br />AngelaThe Teacher's Desk 6https://www.blogger.com/profile/05040785972634369374noreply@blogger.com
