I think that the book “Uncle Montague’s Tales of Terror” was a really good book because of the context and how it was in the style of a really gothic ghost story telling time. I really enjoyed the little stories amongst the big book and the fact another story was going on at the same time. The fact that a sequel book “Tales of Terror from the Black Ship” is now out is really good because all the spooky horror continues.

My favourite book to read was ‘Ways To Live Forever’ because I love the context used and love his friend the best Felix! He is really funny. I love the lists in the book because they are really unusual, they are my best parts of the book. I thought it was a really clever story line and I could not put the book down!.
Where do you get all of these inspiring ideas from?
I hope that you publish loads more books. From Rachel
