To be fairly honest, I am not very interested in this book, at least by reading the details that were given. It may be interesting, but with the discription of the book so far, it doesn't feel like it has a good connection with me. It does not feel like the type book that will catch my atttention.

I don't think this book is for me. I'm not big on mysterey stories. I like horror books more.

I think this book sounds very exiting. Personally, I love mystery books, and the fact that they are in sixth grade makes it all the better.

I remember reading this book in the fifth grade. I read a couple chapters, but honestly, I got bored reading it. I'm more interested in dramatic, romantic, and fantasy books. Every now and then, I'll look into a mystery book, but not often.

This book sounds like something I'd find in my bookcase. It sounds good and I'd like to read it.
