The Dogs

I have just read a ratherinteresting book called ' The Dogs'.  this book was written by Mark Morris and what can i say but i have never read anything so strange.

The book was interesting. It had text that was easy to read and understand. I was hooked. I  was amazed and i could not put the book down.

The book was about Alice, a frightened young orphan who arrived to live at her Aunt's house. Alice was convinced that there was someone in the bedroom beside her. But was it just her imagination? Alice and her aunt had two dogs callled Holly and Pip andeverynight they would all go for a walk on the moor. One night something strange happened and the dogs both disappeared. The dogs both came back nine years later and they appeared to be exactly the same as before they had dissappeared. What was going on? I not telling, but i wpuld recommend that you read this book, it really is great.

This book deserves a star rating offive itwas very wellwritten and the ending was top class. Fantastic story. Well done the author.

Lily by Adele Geras

In this book the young girl the main character paints a interesting view of her life.She talks about loosing her own baby at a young age and how she builds a relationship with the young toddler she ends up looking after. It then turns into a ghost story as Lily the young toddlers mother becomes jealous of her daughters realationship with the main character.She is dead and haunts the main character in ghost form and ends up getting the main character fired as she is blamed for the strange things happening in the house where she is looking after the young toddler.So she goes back to stay with her gran as her mother left her at a young age because she couldn't cope. Basically this story is a little bit of a ghost story in more ways than one as the main character believes she has seen the ghost of her dead child and she goes to see a psychologist and its his toddler she ends up looking after and building a relationship with.
