Dear Mrs. Prince,
The book I am reading right now is called Canadian Ghost Stories by Barba Smith. She is a radio host and is interested in ghosts. She collects stories by people who call her radio station. I am not done reading this book. I started in the middle of last week.
There a many stories in this book. The one that interests me the most is titled Titanic. It is about a reason of why the Titanic sunk. We all know that it hit an iceberg, but what made it hit it? This story is about a cursed mummy that brings bad luck, and was in the Titanic in its first voyage. The mummy was sold to someone and the seller died soon after. The person would not accept it was cursed. When his two friend die, he gave it to the museum. When a photographer took a picture of it he died soon, too. Then the museum decided to take it far away. They put it in the Titanic to ship to America. Then when the Titanic set off, it hit the iceberg near Canada.
Another one that interests me is about a ghost that saves lives. The ghost was a moonshiner in Canada. A moonshiner is a person who makes moonshine or an illegal alcohol. His moonshine was so dangerous that it killed. It would make you sick. This moonshiner's nickname was Smoker. The police found him and after a long time evading police, he was put in jail. His lasts words were asking God if he could redo what he has done. Then he died.
Once, two police man got lost in a snow storm. Then they saw this figure in the snow. They tried to get its attention , but it didn't work. So instead they followed it. They arrived at a fur trader‘s house and went inside. They ask the fur trader who the figure was. The fur trader said it was Smoker.
These are two of my favorite stories. Hoped you enjoyed them.

Dear Julio,
Today I am posting my blog for Warriors Sunset. the author for this book is Erin Hunter. This is the last book in this series. It is about Clans or groups of cats facing danger.
There are many characters in this book. The main characters are Brambleclaw, Squirrelflight, and Leafpool. Squirrelflight and Leafpool are sisters. They can sense how each one is feeling. Brambleclaw has a brother in another Clan, Riverclan. His name is ,Hawkfrost. Their father, Tigerstar, would kill any cat for power. They have dreams where Tigerstar would teach them how to rule all the Clans. Tigerstar wants revenge because he died without gaining power.
The setting is around a lake. There is moorland and forest surrounding it. There is also a island in the middle. There, the cats have peaceful meetings and talk about news. They get there but crossing a tree that has fallen down. The four Clans are located around the lake. Windclan is in the moorland and the rest of the Clans are in the forest. The other names of the Clans are Thunderclan, Riverclan, and Shadowclan. They all have boundaries and territories.
The plot of this book is that Leafpool received a prophecy from Starclan ,which is like Heaven for cats. It is Before there is peace, blood will spill blood and the lake will run red. Brambleclaw becomes deputy, and then meets with Hawkfrost knowing little that it was a trap for his leader, Firestar. Firestar got in a fox trap and Brambleclaw is faced with the decision for power or loyalty. He chose loyalty and used the stick in the ground for the fox trap and stabbed it in Hawkfrost's throat while in battle. Hawkfrost's blood as in blood brother, got spilled and then the blood went into the lake.
My favorite part was when Brambleclaw and Hawkfrost were fighting. This was the battle between good and evil. My least favorite part was when Brambleclaw met Tigerstar in his dreams. He was becoming the antagonist. My opinion about this book is that anybody who likes cats, adventure, and action will enjoy this book.
Your good friend,

The book that I am reading right now is Warriors Twilight. It is the next book in the Warriors Series I am reading. Made by Erin Hunter, the Warriors books have many series. This is the second series. The Warriors books are about cats that are in four different clans and they sometimes fight.
The main characters are Brambleclaw, Leafpool, and Squirrelflight. Leafpool and Squirrelflight are sisters. They have a special connection. They can feel how the other one is feeling. There are four Clans. ThunderClan, Windclan, Riverclan, and Shadowclan. All the main characters are in Thunderclan.
The setting is a lake with moorland, forests and a island in the middle. In the forests, the Clans of Thunderclan, Riverclan, and Shadow clan live there. In the moorland, Windclan lives there. Each Clan is serperated by landmarks. The island is where they meet. They get there by a fallen tree.
I don't really know the plot yet as I have not finished the book yet. All I know is that Brambleclaw and Squirrelflight becomes friends again after a attack in the end of the last book.
I don't know or have the resolution, personal opinions, or have any favorite parts or least favorite parts at the moment because as I have said I did not finish the book yet.

Dear Mrs. Zhrihen,
I just finished reading the book Warriors: Twilight by: Erin Hunter! This book is part of a big series that talks about a lot of cats that have to move because construction is destroying their homes. This is the fifth out of six books in this series. It is a great book. I highly recommend it.
There are many characters in this book. They are divided into four clans, Thunderclan, Windclan, Riverclan, and Shadowclan. The main cats in this book is Squirrelflight, Leafpool, and Brambleclaw. All from Thunderclan. Squirrelflight is Leafpools sister. They have a special connection which makes them feel how to other one is felling.
The setting of this book is in a forest and moorland around a lake with an island in the middle.The forest holds the clans of Thunderclan, Riverclan, and Shadowclan. The Moorland holds the clan of Windclan. The setting is very realistic
The plot is that Squirrelflight and Brambleclaw get into a fight and they lose their friendship. Also another thing happening is that there will be an attack on all clans but no one knows. Another thing happening is that another cat called Crowfeather, is in love with Leafpool, but they are in different clans. They decide to run away but there is trouble with the clans so they come back and help. A lot of plots for one book.
The main conflict is that there is going to be an attack. All four clans don't know. When they attack it devastated all the clans.Only the medicine cats had visions about it but didn't know how to interpret them. In the end one of them died.
The resolution is that the cats fought off the enemy.And the medicine cats began to heal the wounded.
I think this is a very good book for whoever likes cats and action. Also for people who like suspense and very detailed books. I feel sad that some cats died in the battle. I am also surprised that an old cat, named Stromfur, that chose to be left behind came back.
My favorite part is when the battle was over and when Stormfur came back. It was surprising that the cat came back and it was very detailed at the end of the battle.
My least favorite part is when one of the medicine cats died. It was very sad.
