5.0 out of 5 stars Very good, except it could have been longer, December 28, 2000

This review is from: Get Real #5: Ghoul Reporter Digs Up Zombies! (Paperback)

Good story. Much better than I thought it would be. However... there wasn't much of any newspaper stuff this time. Mostly it was about a school assignment. If it had been just 50 pages longer, there could have been school newspaper meetings and editorials about racism and prejudice, articles about town history and heritage, dsylexia/learning disabilities and differences, etc. Just a little too short and some of the scare stuff got too repetitive.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Reading!, August 28, 2000
