The Caged Graves by Dianne Salerni

Again this isn't a published book, but a manuscript that I read! This has become one of my all time favorites! I hope that Mrs.Salerni gets a publishing company interested in publishing The Caged Graves! Keep your fingers crossed! :D

Verity Boone is a city girl who has moved back home to Cattiwissa! Her mom and aunt have tragicly passed 15 years ago (the reason that Verrity moved to Worchester):( When Verrity was younger, she was betrothed to a man named Nathaniel McClure. One day Nate unexpectly shows up at the Boone residence to meet Verrity! But everything goes wrong! Nate accidently takes Verrity to the graveyard in which her mother was buried in (or rather out). This then leads to Verrity discovering that her mother and aunt were buried with a cage enclosing their graves! Verrity is overcome with two men interested in her shortly after moving to her birth place! It seems that no one will answer Verrity's questions about her mother, and why everyone thinks that witchcraft was involved! When Ransloe Boone feels bad for Verrity, he uncovers Sarah Ann's diaries and gives tham to Verrity! Verrity is so determined to uncover the truth about her mother's tragic death, she goes to the doctor's assistant (Hadley, who has a strong passion for Verrity) to try to find out the cause of her mother and possilby her aunt's death! But there are always mysterious things happening every day! Such as grave robbing, suspisions arising, Nate discovering the passionate interest that Hadley shares for Verrity, kidnapping, guns, and the treasure hunt for the lost gold is getting hotter and hotter!

Strange Truths By Dianne Salerni

This actually isn't a published book, but a manuscript that my 5th grade teacher let me read! She has an agent for this book and is hoping to get a publishing company interested! Mrs.Salerni also has a published book called We Hear the dead. I am hoping to read it soon!

Strange Truths is a great book for teenagers or young adults! A girl named Evie Strong is from an asylum! But one day she is welcomed into the family of two rocket scientists! Who then immediately change her name to Evie Strong to "conceal her past"! Evie who is used to unusual happening has gotten used to the idea of her parent scientists being mediums! Evie even joins the club! They help find if peole are real mediums of mental physcos! In this club, Evie meets a young man named Madison Hodge (he prefers Hodge). Even Evie can't resist trying to not approve of young Hodge! But being seen together can get them both in trouble! All the mediums reconize Evie for her many talents and hold real senaces with her. But will Evie's past be revealed or will she cause a diaster with her unusual powers?

Although this is not a published book, if you give hope to Mrs.Salerni, the book might get published! So keep those fingers crossed! I really enjoyed this book in so many levels! And you can too, maybe someday! Right now the book is titled Strange Truths, but it was A Pinpoint Of Truth. So the name probably will be changed in the future! :D

Diary of a Wimpy Kid - Dog Days By: Jeff Kinney

This a good book because it is funny and has a lot of great characters! This book is a sequel to Diary of a Wimpy Kid, The Last Straw. This book is about a guy named: Greg and his to brothers. They are having some difficulties. One day Greg, Rodrick, Manny, and Greg’s mom go to the pool. Greg really didn’t like the pool but when got there he realized that Heather Hills ( sister of Holly Hills the hottest girl in the school) was the lifeguard! So Greg was always hanging around Heather and came to the pool every day just to see Heather! The one time when Greg asked his mom to get a picture of him and Heather - she couldn’t figure out how! When she finally figured it out, it was to late Heather had just gone off shift So Greg ended up being in a picture with a hairy guy!

Later in the summer Greg and his friend, Rowley, had to make a lot of money. So they tried to make a hit business but they didn’t do anything right so they didn’t get paid! Also later on Greg went to the beach with Rowley and his parents but it was a disaster!

I think that this book is better than Diary of a Wimpy Kid, The Last Straw, and I can’t wait until the next Wimpy Kid book!
