Help! I'm a Prisoner in the Library

I would give this book a 5. Because it was very interesting. And the book was full of suspense. The reason why I said suspense is because you never know what is going to happen next. If you are a suspense lover you must read this book.

A good book!

I would recomend this book.It is cool! Jo-Beth and Mary-Rose are locked in the library because Jo-Beth had to go to the bathroom and it was an emergancy so they went in the library they got distracted by a display they were hidden by the display and they didn't notice the librain looking around the room for anyone that might be in there.later they heard a big bump from upstairs, Mary-Rose went upstairs with Jo-Beth right behind her .If you want to know what happens next read the book Help I'm A Prisoner In The Library.

Help!I'm a prisoner in the library!

This book is about two girls who get trapped in a library.They try to get out but they feel like someone is following them. I like this book because they have to shoot off a roket to get someone to come. I think the message in this book is to always listen to your parants.

A fantastic read-aloud

This is a book that my 5-year-old son could not wait to continue each night. It's exciting and not too scary for most children his age. He loved it and we are looking forward to reading more books about the characters.

Good, but the title didn't fit.

I thought Help! I'm a Prisoner in the Library was really good! it was pretty funny, to! The title didn't fit though, something like "Traped in a Haunted Library" would be better. I recommend Help! I'm a Prisoner in the Library!
