SHADOW OF A BULL

I think you should read Shadow of a Bull because it’s an

excellent story. It’s about a young boy who wants to become

a bull fighter like his father. His father was a bull

fighter. His name was Juan Olivares. The young boy’s name is

Manolo Olivares. His father was a great bull fighter. Even

though his father was killed , he won his father’s admiration

by the stories they would tell him about his father . His

father Juan , was killed when a bull’s horn trespassed his

heart. He died instantly. When he got to the hospital it was

too late. Read to find out about the end of the book.

The Boxcar Children: Tree House Mystery is a really good book

especially for people all ages, people who like mystery books,

and people who like The Boxcar Children. The Alden kids are back

and trying to help solve another mystery. This takes place in their

nice suburban like town. They have new neighbors named the Beaches

and their kids named Sammy and Tommy. At first they get a wrong

impression until they get to actually meet them. A lot of event’s

take place in this book especially after the Alden’s meet the Beaches.

The Aldens help Sammy and Tommy’s father become friends again, found

what the beaches were missing, and find a hidden room within the

Beaches house. Find out what the Aldens discover in the room and

much more.

I think you should read Sweet Valley Kids: Lila’s Big Secret book

because something exciting happens at the middle of the story. I will

tell he/ she about the story.First, Lilias friends invited her and her

sister for a sleep over.Then they got to their friends house to

put the tent and tell scary stories. Their boy-friends

splashed water on them.The next day all of the girls were happy

again and all of them were eating pancakes. The big secret is that

one of the girls wetted her sleeping bag. I think this story is great!.

The Horrors of the Haunted Museum by , R.L.Stine is a good book.

I would recommend this book because you never know what’s going to

happen. There are three characters they are Kelly , Derek , and Mike.

It’s a type of book that asks you if you want to go to the

science exhibit or see the monster. The problem is that Mike is

stuck in the museum and he is scared. But the reason he is stuck

in the museum is because Kelly and Derek dared him to. He was scared

because he heard all kinds of noises like hard breathing from the

monster and some other things. I think Mike is my favorite character

because he had the guts to go in there.
