Review: Something Upstairs by Avi is a great book, you won't want to put it down until you finish it. It is about a boy named Kenny who moved from California to Rhode Island. At night, he hears creepy sounds. He finally goes into the attic and finds a ghost who was killed there and tries to find out how he died. Avi is a great author, who will keep you interested to the end. He always has a great plot. If you like a sort of scary story. I give this book 5 stars because it it very interesting.

Summary: Good Book
Review: Something Upstairs
By: Avi
This story starts out with a child telling the author of the book about an event that he experienced. The story is about a boy named Kenny. He moves from his house in California to Rhode Island. Upstairs, there is a dark stain on the floor. At night, the ghost of a young boy comes out of the stain. All that the ghost does is feel around on the wall as if looking for a way out. The ghost seems scared of Kenny. After several meetings, the ghost talks to Kenny. The ghost's name is Caleb. When he was alive, he was a slave. Caleb does not trust him at all. He wants Kenny to help him pass on to the afterlife. He would do this by going back in time and preventing Caleb's murder. I liked this book because it kept you guessing on what was about to happen. This book was very well written and descriptive about the characters and surroundings. I would recommend choosing to read this book if you like mysteries and suspense.

Summary: Semi-good Book
Review: Something Upstairs
Kenny, a new kid in town, has just moved here from the majestic state of California (...and by here I mean Providence, Rhode Island.) As he comes into his new home he wonders why his parents have made him move to this place of old buildings, and it was very muggy and stifling. Rhode Island was much different then his home town of Los Angeles. Kenny thinks it's much more boring than California but he is in for a surprise. Not very anxious to see his new town, he stays inside his house on Sheldon Street. Backtracking a little bit, when Kenny was going to his new house something caught his eye: a sign that read "Daniel Stillwell 1769". It was the name of the original owner of the house. So, the first night at Kenny's new house was normal until Kenny heard a noise from one of the small rooms in his new attic room. He went to check and something was moving the bookcase his mom put there to cover the stain on the floor. To Kenny's surprise in his own room there was something upstairs other than him. As Kenny walked ever so closely, he sees a ghostly figure appearing. Who would've known that something that rarely ever happens anywhere happens here in the little town of Providence (a.k.a. Boresville, U.S.A.). Many nights pass and every night the ghost comes around 3:00 AM. Kenny decides to befriend the ghost whose name is Caleb. Once Caleb is befriended, he asks Kenny a favor. (See, Caleb was murdered at the ripe old age of 16 - He was a slave. Yes -- a slave. So now Caleb is a ghost from the past. Now it's getting interesting.) Caleb was a slave for Daniel Stillwell. (There's that name again.) So back to the story... Caleb wanted Kenny to find his killer. It seems very hard and Kenny thought he was joking but Caleb was very serious and candid. Kenny was giving Caleb a heavy look, and Kenny was still incredulous at the idea, but he knew by the demanding, scornful look in Caleb's eyes that Caleb was being serious.
The book, Something Upstairs, is good book but only if you're reading it with a group because it is a very confusing book. I myself think that it would be hard to read independently because you would not have anyone to talk to about the book.

Summary: Something Up Stairs
Review: The book Something up Stairs is a great book.It is a mystery .I think that it is very interesting and that it makes you never want to stop reading. The vocabulary is easy to understand. The story is about a boy named Kenny who moves to this house. What he doesn't know is that it is haunted.That night he moved he was sleeping and he heard something .He heard it coming from the room that a long time ago was the room of a Slave. He goes to the room and sees a ghost. When the ghost sees him, he disapears,this keeps on happening until one night they start to talk. The ghost says that his name is Caleb.So after a little while he said that he wants him to help him find his killer.
In the middle of the book Kenny said he will help him.One night his room changed and so did the world around him .Well im not going to tell you the whole story , because I want you to read the story yourself so you will know the twisted ending.
