Lauren's List of Awesome Books Part 3

(I have no clue what the exact title is, but it's something like) Nancy Drew Ghost Stories: Nancy Drew and her friends Bess and George must solve several supernatural mysteries.
Ooooh I'm soooo scared. Seriously, the description was all, "If you read this at night, the only sound you will hear is THE POUNDING OF YOUR OWN HEART!" Yeah right. More like me laughing. These are seriously the stupidest yet funniest stories ever. There's this one with these "ghost dogs" that weren't buried on this certain hill, SO THEY HAUNT THE MANSION FOREVER! It turns out that these guys who lived next to the mansion dressed up as dogs and made scratching marks on the door. One of them totally spills out everything, tho, so it's not even funny. "OKAY, I'LL TELL YOU EVERYTHING! It was all Matthew's idea. HE WAS ALWAYS CLEVER!" Looooser.

Who Killed the Homecoming Queen?: Even tho Goosebumps and Ghosts of Fear Street are two really dumb series, R. L. Stine did a really good job on the Fear Street series...by making them so darn funny. SERIOUSLY! There's like a stalker goth guy who has a crush on the homecoming queen (Tania) and Tania's stepbrother is all, "Man, you'd do anything to get near Tania, wouldn't you?" And goth boy's all, "Yes. I would." ISN'T THAT FREAKY? The end is kinda disappointing cuz goth boy and Tania don't end up together and neither do Eva and Jeremy (long story), but it is kinda funny. "Oh no...THE CAMCORDER JAMMED AGAIN!"

The Fellowship of the Ring: Young hobbit Frodo Baggins goes on a quest to rid Middle Earth of the worst evil there ever was.
Two Towers is so much better, but whatever, this is the first one. LOTR RULES! Pippin is my favorite, followed by Sam and Frodo, and Merry can just DIE! And Aragorn isn't as obsessed with Arwen as he is in the movies. Best of all...NO EOWYN! "A plague on ye dwarves and your STIFF NECKS!"

The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe: A girl named Lucy opens up a wardrobe and finds a magical land called Narnia inside, which is controlled by the evil White Witch
This isn't technically the first one (it was written first, but Magican's Nephew happens first), but it's one of the best ones in the CON series. Edmund isn't as bad as he is in the BBC version of the movie, but all of my friends seriously hated him when they first read the book cuz he's EVIL!!!!!!!! Yeah.

The Hangman's Curse: Twins Elijah and Elisha must solve a mystery surrounding an evil curse with a ghost named Abel Fry.
This book is one of the scariest books I've ever read. The second one's dumb, but whatever. ANYWAY. It seriously freaked me out the first time I read it. So read it. It's better than the movie anyways.

i haven't seen the movie for hangman's curse. is it good?
the second one wasn't stupid, just filled with people who had serious issues.

Lauren said...

i haven't seen it, but my friends told me about it. they change some stuff, like norman dies and crystal lives.
i thought it was. it was more weird than scary.

RRock_With_It said...

well, it would be scary if people actually lived that way, that's the point i think peretti was trying to make.

Lauren said...

peretti makes children's videos, the fool. -_-
