My classes love these Classic Start novels and they are excellent because they are high interest but lower (not too low) level.
This was an interesting book. I read it because my mom is a Special Ed. teacher, and she bought boxes and boxes of books. I saw this one and picked it up. It was different than I expected it to be.
I just loved this book. It is full of amazing ideas and things happening. It is really sad, but in a way, it makes you not feel sad.It is very dramatic and exciting.
so freakin scary so much stitches he murders everyone literally!!!!!!!!!!
I liked this book because the monster had stitches and so did I.
