The Spook's Curse


The Spook's curse (Väktarens förbannelse) is the second out of 6 books. If you would like to know what the first book is about you can read my other post.

The Spook's curse starts with how Tom describes in detail, how he defets a very nasty boggart in the town near by. When the spook finds out that his brother had been killed, he and Tom head to Priestown where his brother is going to be buried. But Priestown is the favorite town for a Quisitor, a witchhunter who kills many innocent people in place of actual witches and would like nothing more than to get his hands on the spook.
But that is not all, Tom an the Spook has to try to find a way to defet the Bane
- a spirit of the dark that lives in the catacombs under Priestown. Influencing and corrupting the priests and pressing his victims flat to the ground. It seems to be impossible- especially when Tom finds out more about his master's background, in particular the rumours about a curse that has been placed on the spook since he first started the trade.

This is a really good and detailed book.

The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time


I just finished reading "The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time"! It's by Mark Haddon. It is about Christopher Boone, a 15 years old boy who has Asperger's syndrome. He lives with his dad in England. His mom is dead. Christopher is a very unique boy.
One night he discovers Wellington, the neighbours dog, speared by a garden fork. Mrs Shears, the owner of the dog, finds Wellington and she put the blame on Christopher. That's when all the drama starts. Christopher does everything from hitting a policeman and getting a warning, to finding letters that's about to change his life, and the next moment he finds out his mom is alive! That's why he travels by his own, all the way to London ..

I think the book is okay, but it could have been more detailed and specific. Also I didn't think it had a 'real' story.

3/5

Jag finns, Maja-Maria Henriksson

This is a a chapter I made up by myself, for the book "Jag finns" in page 44.

Only after one single day I have totally emberresed myself infront of the new girl in the class. It was a big chance for me to finally get a friend, but as normally I destroyed it. I can't understand what is wrong with me, why isn't I like evrybody else? I sat quiet for a while and was just thinking for an answer, but I couldn't. There was no answer. I wasn't like everybody else, that was simply just how it was. I was maybe born to be different and bullied, I don't know.
I went in to our bathroom and just looked at my self in the mirror. "I understand why everybody hates me, just look at me, Iam so disgusting." I was so digusted by myself so I couldn't see myself in the mirror anymore. I threw the soap on the mirror so it became a big noise and the whole mirror splitted up into small peices over the whole floor. "Now I will also have 7 years with unluck, can't it get worse?", I thought for my self. My mom ran into the bathroom and screamed at me how stupid and bad I was. There a got an answer on my question; I get worse!
