Title of Book: The Mansion In The Mist

Author: John Bellairs

Why did you choose to read this book?: I chose to read this book because I read the back cover and it seemed very interesting. I also chose to read it because I like scary stories and this is a scary story.

Theme (Main Idea of the Book): The main idea of this book is to entertain.

Setting (Time and Place): The time is in the mid-50's. This is on page three, second paragraph. The place is Hoosac, Minnesota. This is also found on page three, and on the second paragraph.

Plot (What Happens): What happens in this story is that, when summer starts, the boss of a kid named Anthony Monday says she is going on a trip to an old house on an island. The problem is that Anthony doesn't want to stay in Minnesota all summer without her, because she is a really good friend to him. So Anthony goes on the trip with her and while he stays in the old house, mysterious things start to happen. For example, when he opened a treasure chest to see what was in it, the bottom of it opened and he got this tempting feeling that made him want to jump in. When he did, he got to this magical world with weird creatures who are planning to destroy the planet! Now he has to find a way to survive living in the spooky house and he has to find a way to save the planet!

Characters: Anthony Monday, Miss Eells, Emerson Eells

Fictional books always have main characters. Describe one main character in this book in detail. How did he/she look? What age was he/she? What was his/her personality like? What was the importance of this character to the story? Did you like this character? Why or Why not?

One of the main characters is Anthony Monday. He is a very needy, yet lazy boy. I say this because he begged Miss Eells to let him go on the trip with her, and he is lazy because his mother said that he mopes around all summer. This can be found on page four, paragraph one, and page 5, paragraph two. He looked like a tall, gawky-looking boy who is thirteen years old. This character is important because without him, there would probably be no story because he is the character that discovers all of the house's terrifying secrets. I did like this character because I think he is really brave and corageous.

Main Events:

Problem/Conflict: The creatures from the " Treasure Chest World" want to destroy the planet, and Anthony has to prevent them from doing it.

How did the story make you feel? It made me feel very thrilled, but not in a happy way, just a scared or spooked way.

What new things did you learn from this book? I still haven't finished reading it, so I haven't learned anthing yet.

Would you recommend this book to a friend? Why or why not? Yes, I would recommend it to a friend, because it is a very thrilling book and I think it is very interesting to people our age.
