A Series of Unfortunate Events: The Reptile Room

A Series of Unfortunate Events
The Reptile Room
By Lemony Snicket






“Of course, after they discover that Dr.Montgomery is dead…” this quote from the book A Series of Unfortunate Events The Reptile Room by Lemony Snicket shows why this book was a giant thriller to me and many others.

Violet, Klaus and Sunny are orphans and together with Violet’s inventing, Klaus’s reading and Sunny’s biting they manage to escape Count Olaf clutches in the first book but in this book Count Olaf is in disguise as Stefano and plans to steal their fortune again.


I really like this book because it builds a ton of suspense and mystery while never being bored for a second and that is why I would recommend this book to anyone.

Nightmares

Olivia
Book review: Nightmares


“ It doesn’t matter! I’m not leaving this place until I find my brother!”, yells Charlie Laird from the netherworld. The witch has stolen Charlie’s little brother,Jack. She and her cat, named Agatha, plan to make him all fat and then eat Jack. Nightmares, by Jason Segel and Kirsten Miller is about horror and well nightmares that Charlie as every night. Charlie is also positive that his stepmom, Charlotte DeChant is a witch! No one believes him so he is trying to prove it. I really like this book because the authors describe everything so well. I feel like I’m in the Netherworld with Carlie. I can only read this book during the day. Even though what’s going on in the book isn’t real, it is still scary. I would  recommend this book for ages 8 and up. Find out is Charlie finds Jack and if they make it back to the walking world. Be brave even if something is scary.
