Were you a fan of Goosebumps or the Twilight Zone? Then On the Day I Died: Stories from the Grave is the book for you. I wasn't sure if I was going to like this book. I was kind of expecting something really morbid. I mean the stories are about the day these teens died. But, it was surprisingl...
Fleming did a marvelous job of bringing Earhart to life, and of putting her into context. She really did manage to pull up illuminating anecdotes, like that fact that Earhart cut her hair so she looked more like a pilot, and that she curled it every night with a curling iron to give it that casual, ...
Well-designed and researched, "Amelia Lost" gives a chronology of Amelia Earhart's life, interspersed with dark gray pages that tell about her last day's flight and the days following. I'm embarrassed to admit that the explanation of radio frequencies and radio direction finders in the opening pages...
The different stories in this book were interesting. One of the stories about the insane aslyum ended abruptly and I think that so much more could have been done with that topic.

In the synopsis, the author is described, amongst other things, as versatile and that is certainly one of the adjectives I would wholeheartedly attach to her. This versatility is especially evident in On the Day I Died. It is quite difficult to develop different and distinct voices in one book and F...
*This is actually 3.5 stars, but I rounded down. It was on the lower side of 3.5 lol. This was a great collection of stories of how each of these characters died. I liked how it was set up though. It wasn't like a typical anthology would be with just having the short stories in it. The short stories...
I've always been a big fan of ghost stories. There's something about being spooked, about getting that shiver up your spine as you read, that makes me just devour them. So of course when I saw Candace Fleming's On The Day I Died, I had to read it. What I found between these pages was a perfect blend...
An angry farmer tries to keep hunger rabbits out of his garden by building bigger and bigger fences. Will he finally keep the rabbits out? You have to read this book to find out. I could see using this book during a story time for older children --1st-3rd- grade. I think the punchline of the story i...
