Review: Have you ever been scared by a story that you heard from a friend that had to do with a monster that lived in a chicken coop? Well, if you haven't, here is a review of such a story. This is a story taken from The Dark Thirty by Patricia C.
McKissack. It goes all the way back to July 8, 1960 with a little girl named Missy who was nine years old. Her parents have been married for ten years but on July 8,1960 they got divorced. As soon as her parents split up she was sent off to a school in Tennessee. As few years later Missy is now living in the country with her grandma and grandpa. They raise cows, horses, and chickens. One night Missy heard a weird sound coming from the chicken coop. One of her friends dared her to go over and see what was in the chicken coop. As she went towards the chicken coop she heard the sound again. That scared her. She ran back into the house. Every night for a week she would hear the same sound and she would do the same thing, run scared back to the house. Each night she became more frightened, not ever knowing for sure what was making the noises until the end. This is a conflict of self vs. self because what she feared was much larger than the real thing.This book was not what I expected it to be. It was classified as a horror book, and the illustration on the cover showed a girl running and that gave me an expression that she might be in trouble. It seemed the book would be about scary stories. One of the stories that I read did not seem that suspenseful. The story was about a monster in the chicken but it did not seem scary to me. I would not recommend this book to anyone who enjoys a good horror novel.

Summary: A Must-Have Book for Secondary Teachers
Review: I am a middle school reading teacher who was given a copy of this book when it was first released. I fell in love with the stories as did my students! Each school year I start by reading "The Chicken Coop Monster" with every emotional fiber in my body. I require my students to write down the 10 rules randomly disclosed in the through out the story. This school year the book is completely worn out and I purchased another! No story will disappoint you in this book. This book leaves my students in awe as I read the stories each year! Equally pleasing is the art work by Brian Pinkney.

Summary: A great collection for young and old
Review: I first read these short stories in Elementary school and I have re-read them every now and then since. The stories, and one long poem, are all top-quality that one remembers long after they have read them. They are haunting, magical and captivating especially "The Gingi" and "Boo Mama." Not only are the stories imaginative, the unique illustrations add to the mood the tales create so that you will become completey absorbed. Highly Reccomended.

Summary: The new review
Review: I read this book when I was in 6th grade with my class. We would read a story every day or week.(whenever we had the time) When it came time t read a story everyone would get real quiet.(which was surpising since I had a real bad class in 6th grade) The stories are spooky and also mysterious. You would start reading and you couldn't put the book down because you would just have to know the ending. This book was great!!!!!!!! How did you like my review?

Summary: A must read book!
Review: I read this book when I was in middle school, and I haven't forgotten it since! I remember sitting in my living room and being very frightened when I read that book. The most harrowing tale (and the one that kept me up at night) was the one about the gingi from the Nigerian legend. McKissack's uses wonderful imagery and diction to convey stories not soon to be forgotten!

Summary: This book is DA BOMB!!!!!!!
Review: I read this book when I was in sixth grade with my class. I had a really bad class in sixth grade but we would always be good when we went to reading class so we could read The Dark Thirty. From the first few pages that you read in the beginning you just wanna keep on reading so you could know what happens in the end. Then, when you read the end you would be stunned by what happened. In my class, we were always saying,"Can we read another story,PLEASE!!!!" This book is excellant!

Summary: I best liked The Sight.
Review: I thought it was great. We read it in class. They were scary and that is what we like. We were wondering if you could write a second to that.
