This review is from: Excursions and Extracurriculars (Fable Farm Vol. 2) (Paperback)

Heather Beck has a new fan for life. Excursions and Extracurriculars (Fable Farm Vol. 2)is so good. The stories are scary but also funny. Even my older brother loves this book.

Twenty miles to Nowhere is so scary. I love the ending of that story. Actually I love all the endings and the middles and beginnings too. All the characters and cool and life-like! H. Beck is a very talented writer and also very nice to her fans. She actually repsonded to my email!
