A Kid's Review

This review is from: Screams in the Night (Sugar Creek Gang Series) (Paperback)

This book is ok because they don't really do anything until the end. They also use the word, "Jiffy" too much. I think the charaters use the the word, "Jiffy," more then the word, "The." The book is perfect for ages eight and up.

This book is about the Sugar Creek Gang the all the kids; Jim, little Jim, Poetry, Circus, Dragonfly, Bill Collins and Tom Till. The gang wants to go up north for the summer to see their Indian friends Little Snow-in-the-face and his brother. Barry, their older friend, has to drive them but he must first ask all their parents if they can go. On their first night up Bill and Poetry get themselves caught in another mystery.

What are they getting themselves into? Find out in the book "Screams in the night."
