Coraline review




I recently read Coraline by Neil Gaiman


Coraline just moved into a new house(which she has to share it with some odd people).Even then, Coraline still had nothing to do.But one day,she discovered a door blocked by bricks.when she found the key,she was able to go in.At the end of the tunnel,she saw what looked like her parents,except they had buttons for eyes.They cooked way better meals,and a much nicer house. All she had to to stay was replace her eyes with buttons.She didn't want to.So they striked a deal.If she could find the souls of her parents and the soul of three other children's,she could leave freely.
She did,in fact,find them and she was set free.



I recently read The City of Ember by Jeanne DuPrau.


The city of Ember is running out of supply.Fast.That's why
all twelve year old's must work Lina Mayfleet desperately wants to be a messenger job a and gets the Pipeworks job.When her fellow classmate,Doon,gets the messenger job,they both trade,because they both highly dislike their jobs.While at home,Lina discovers a mysterious looking box
witha note inside.But before she could read it,her baby sister,Poppy,chews it up,leaving only a few letters.But with a little help from her friends she figures out the way out is through the pipeworks.While she was scoping it out,she discovered that the mayor was hogging all the needed supply!Later,when they go back to the pipeworks,they find boats and candles.They float a boat down the river,were they discover the haven.
