Night of the Puppet People

(Goosebumps Most Wanted #8) (Goosebumps: Most Wanted)

 

R. L. Stine

 

Happy Halloween!

 

I'd this book on my 'To-read' shelf for a long time! Finally I got to read it!

The story begins with Jenny and her brother Ben's birthday party. They are both five year old twins.

A puppet show is arranged which turns out awfully scary for them. Since then, Jenny and Ben hate everything-Puppets!

Seven years later, they are still scared of puppets. But for a school variety show, they decide to perform a Puppet skit to beat Anna and Maria.

And they find three weird and scary puppets at their friends place.

The trouble starts as the puppets aren't as good as they seem. Soon Ben's life is in danger! And the only way to save him is to find the one who created those puppets.

 

This book is gonna give you creeps if you are already scared of puppets! It's interesting as well as gripping throughout. I can't put it down.
The end is unexpected as usual. I loved it.

 

 

Book blurb

 

Ben and Jenny Renfro are terrified of puppets and they don't know why. It's just been a fear that the twins have shared for as long as they can remember. Yes, they are creeped out by all kinds of puppets, but especially marionettes. Something about all of those wires is extra scary.

The twins are determined to defeat their class rivals by winning their school's talent contest. And that means doing whatever it takes. Even if they have to surround themselves by the thing they hate most--puppets! But there is more to these guys than just string and glue. Something evil is hanging around. Will Ben and Jenny be able to take control?

As Tommy moves along the school he finds and hears strange sounds which no one else hears. But things turns worst when Tommy and Ben enter an old lift in the old school building.

I really enjoyed this book. I enjoy ALL "Goosebumps" Book, I thought I should mention that.
This book is super scary and you can't guess what happens next. I read this in a single sitting in about a few hours.
A true page turner!
The ending is unexpected and amazing! I just loved it. I bought the paperback from Amazon and its pretty cool.

You should find out for yourself if the school is haunted or... more than haunted.

Mr.Crum's Potato Predicament

Mr.Crum's Potato Predicament

Anne Renaud

Felieita Sala

Kids Can Press

For kids who love food, fun, stories and potatoes!

George crum opens his restaurant 'Crum's Place' because he loves to cook.

His customers thought of him as the best cook in the country.

One a customer orders for potatoes, only potatoes!

Mr.Crum serves him potato wedges but that are sent back.

So he cuts the potato even thin but again the customer complains that it's too thick and bland.

When this happens for the third time, Mr.Crum with his playful nature comes up with an amazing idea!

And  everyone absolutely loves his new invention.

About the book

When Filbert P. Horsefeathers walks into George Crum's restaurant, he tells the waitress, ?I have a hankering for a heaping helping of potatoes.? Fine cook that he is, George prepares a serving of his most scrumptious, succulent and sublime potato wedges, only to have Filbert send them back. ?Too thick,? he says. So, George makes thinner wedges. But his picky customer sends them back again. And again. Feeling a bit mischievous, George decides to use his sharpest knife to cut paper-thin potato slices, which he fries until they are crackling and then showers with salt. At last, Filbert is satisfied, proclaiming, ?Perfection!? Which they are. Because, quite by accident, George Crum has invented potato chips!

This fictional picture book tale by Anne Renaud is based on a real man named George Crum, a cook in Saratoga Springs, New York, in the 1850s, who is purported to have created the first potato chip in response to a demanding customer. Included at the back of the book is a historical note with a list of sources describing the legend and the remarkable and inspiring story of Crum, a trapper of mixed Native American and African American descent, who supplied restaurants with fresh game, then became a chef and successful restauranteur himself. 

Felicita Sala's gorgeous illustrations accurately portray the historical period but with a lighthearted touch. They work beautifully with Renaud's playful language and quirky characters for a lively and deliciously fun read-aloud. This book is an excellent choice for lessons on inventions and inventors, history, or why we eat the foods we do.

Book Review: Horror Library Volume Six

Horror Library Volume 6

Multiple authors

A horror for every taste. This book that has a collection of stories by 27 different authors is horror masterpiece in itself.

I'd like to mention "The Night Truck" by Stephanie Bedwell Grime. The story is narrated simply, but still it scares you very much. It's my favourite in the whole book.

"The Plumber" is another story that will leave you scared and feeling Ugh!

All the stories have there own and unique narration style. Making every story stand out from the other.

This was my first time reading Horror Library and I'm hooked. Will definitely be looking out the future volumes and the ones that are already published.

One thing I'd like to add, if you read the book in darkness or when alone, you will be frightened for weeks.

Thank you Netgalley for the copy.

The Most Magnificient Thing

Ashley Spires

4.5 stars

A simple story about a little girl who wants to create something magnificient.
While doing so she learns how difficult it is to bring to life what you have on mind, especially when people don't cheer or support you and you do everything by yourself.
Also, one should never give up untill success finds them.
The story also tells that one should have patience and keep trying.
A really good book for kids.

Thank you  Netgalley.
