Dr. Maniac vs Robby Schwartz Goosebumps Horrorland #5 by R.L. Stine Horror <– it’s supposed to be, but not really scary at all. Review #1 * * Stars (Just ok.)

Wish – Read It and Rate It

The Wish by Gail Carson Levine Realistic Fiction Review #1 * * * Stars (Pretty good) I liked this book because it shows what life can be like. It points out that not everyone is liked by others.
