4.0 out of 5 stars Review Of Hogback Hill, August 6, 2001

A Kid's Review

This review is from: The Light on Hogback Hill (Hardcover)

Author: Cynthia DeFelice Genre: Adventure and Mystery The Light on Hogback Hill

This story takes place on Hogback Hill. The main characters are Hadly and Josh. Hadly is fun, talkative good-natured and sometimes can be a scared of things until she faces her fears. Then she is ok. Josh is fun, adventurous and loves to explore. The plot of the story is that Josh wants Hadly to go up on Hogback Hill with him to see if the stories are true about Hogback Hill. (The story about Hogback Hill is that if you go up there the hunchback will turn you into a black cat.) Hadly finally agrees to go up Hogback Hill with him. On Halloween night they go up and find out that the stories are not true! They want to find out who and why someone made up the stories. They find out that there is a nice hunchback on Hogback Hill and that the person who made up the stories was her brother. They soon became friends with Netta, (the hunchback) and they break the spell. Then she comes down after a sad accident and meets new people. My favorite scene was when Hadly and Josh went up to Hogback Hill for the first time. My favorite character is Hadly. I think people should read this book if they like adventure and mystery. I think The Light on Hogback Hill should get a rating of an 8. I think it gets an 8 because it started out good then it got better and better and better but the and was not very good.

This review is from: The Light on Hogback Hill (Hardcover)

I recommend this book to someone who has interest in action and mystery because this book has a lot of it. The end also was such a surprise. How would you like to live in a house by yourself for 54 years?

5.0 out of 5 stars My point of view on a great book!, September 4, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: The Light on Hogback Hill (Paperback)

What really stood out for me in this book were scenes that could really affect people in real and true life. Like people judging other people from the way they look. I would give this book a
5 rating because I love mystery and adventure and that is what this book is about. It has a lot of exciting and horrifying cliffhangers that leave you dying if you don't read on! So I would recommend this book to people who love mysteries and adventures just like me!
