Charlie St.Cloud Review


I recently read Charlie St.Cloud by Ben Sherwood.
One Evening,Charlie St.Cloud and his brother Sam decided to sneak out to go to a baseball game.When they were driving, they got in a horrible car crash.charlie barely survived,while his brother crossed over to the other side.So,Charlie was endowed with a great gift.He worked at a ceCheck Spellingmentary and was able to communicate with the spirts there,including his brothers.Then,he meets a lady named Tess who was going on a tour around the world in a boat.Sadly,she got into an accident while training.Charlie was able to see her spirt as well.It was a tough transition at first,but everything turned out for the best!
This book is truly a unique perspective on death!I really think the story line is very unique,as well!Sherwood did a great job making the character's relatable!

Narnia:Prince Caspian Review


I recently read Price Caspian by C.S. Lewis.
One day,Lucy,Edmund Susan and Peter Pevensie were going on a train ride to school when all of a sudden they were whisked back to Narnia,where they once ruled.But things changed.Animals no longer
talked and trees were no longer free.Price Caspian was at war with his uncle Miraz.They are lead by a dwarf named Trumpkin.On their way,Lucy thought she saw their beloved Aslan and that he was telling her to follow him.When she told the others,but no one believed her at first.Then they followed her and saw Aslan for themselves.After a few battles,Aslan set them free!
I love these books!C.S. Lewis is so creative for making up all these characters and places purely out of his whole mind!I loved the way the characters related to each other!(Human or not!)
