| Why did you give the book this rating? |
| It’s a really good book, because it’s fun that she got stuck in the attic while Nancy was babysitting. I liked feeling like, “what’s gonna happen?” It was suspenseful. The book was funny, too. |
| What was your favorite/least favorite part? |
| At the beginning when they play in the dirt hill. They made it a volcano by someone going inside and holding a hose so it would look like lava spraying out. |
| Would you recommend this book to others? Why? |
| Yes, I would recommend it to 7, 8, and 9 year olds. I like that they turned the dirt hill into a volcano. That was really cool. I like that they went to the crawl space because it was risky. |
