Wooo! A Good Night for Ghosts, a Magic Tree House book written by Mary Pope Osborne, will give you the heebie-jeebies. Jack and Annie, the main characters, spin into a spooky adventure. They land in New Orleans in 1915 on the eve of All Saint's Day. Their mission is to help Louis Armstrong, also known as Dipper, give his musical gifts to the world. The mission is not easy because of frightening moments with ghosts and keeping Dipper on track. In the end, Dipper shares his musical talent with people all around.
This story is truly magical. Mary Pope Osborne helps the reader imagine being in New Orleans with the King of Jazz. I recommend all you people out there read this fantastic book!

Diary Of A Wimpy Kid: Cabin Fever
The book Diary of a Wimpy Kid: Cabin Fever by Jeff Kinney is about a boy named Greg Heffley, who is a kid in middle school in suburban community. This book is written in the style of a diary. This book is fiction, but it could be based on some real- life experiences of the author.
Most people enjoy the holidays, but Greg doesn't. When the holidays are coming you have to be on your best behavior. Unfortunately, he can barely survive seven days of being on your best manners, but that's not the main problem. When Greg and his friend Rowley Jefferson walk to school everyday, a kid they call Nasty Pants chases them with a stick the size of a tree. They told their parents and their parents trudged over to Nasty Pants' house. They were surprised to find a kid much younger then their kids!
A little bit later at his house there's a big snowstorm, and they get at least three feet of snow! Since they're snowed in, they have to ration their food. Later the power goes out, or does it? Greg goes to the circut breaker and finds all the switches off, except the one to Manny's room, (his younger brother). When his mom and he went to Manny's room, they found Many with all the heat and all the lights on.
Every year their school has a fundraiser to get money for the school. They sell the chicken drumstick brand called Drummies for quite a bit of money. When Greg finds out at the store you can get them for less money and attemps to expose the school,they aren't too happy.
I can't tell you the rest of the story so, why don't you just read the book. I bet you'll think it's outstanding, because it's humorous and like everyday life. The drawings are fantastic, because the author puts time into drawing them.
