My reading book was called “Being Dead” by Vivian Vande Velde. I like it a lot. The book was about scary short stories about ghosts all in one book. Most of the chapters endings got me so mad because they just left me hanging. What I mean by that is they don’t tell you what happens next. But other than that I highly recommend the book. Especially if you like spooky things like ghosts.
To me the saddest story in the book is when this girl had cancer and her name is Emily. She wasn’t going to make it but she had until spring. It was the last day that the museum was open, Emily cried and started calling the ghosts name and one of the employees found her and called her dad and they got into the argument and Emily ran outside. It’s winter and she had no sweater or coat. She ran into the woods and... In the end of the chapter it said... (you have to read the book to find out what happens next)
Another one I liked was probably the shortest chapter. It was about a man who lost his wife. By lost I meant she passed away. Then he said “if only I had one last dance with her I’ll dance till sun rise” then they heard knocking on the door. He finally opened the door and.... (read the book to find out)
But the whole book was like stories like those and I really liked it. It wasn’t that long to read if you read as much as you can a day. Plus it will catch your attention if you like books about ghosts. To be honest in the first couple pages of the book was so good that it got me hooked and made me want to read a lot.
