Being Dead

      The title of the book I read is called "Being Dead". The author of this book is Vivian Vande Velde. The topic of this book is Scary stories. It is made up of a bunch of stories. It has horror and thrill in it. Horror books are the kind of books you don't want to stop reading at points.

      The story in the book I will talk about is called "Being Dead". Johnny Stewart is the main charactor. He is a newspaper boy and gets paid little. One day he was given a tip for $19.93 for only a newspaper!! His family consists of just him, his mom and his little sister Rosie. He was walking down on the side walk when he saw a suicide jumper. He jumped of a building and landed on top of Johnny. Johnny was now a ghost. He stared at his dead body on the side walk. His boss, DeMarco walks up to the body and took the tip out of his pocket. He tries his best to make DeMarco give his mom the money and at the end he succeded.

      I liked this book but it is not one most people would like. Is has some scary stories, but others are not worth reading. If you like to read books with different scary stroies then you will like this. My reccomendation is most people will not like this book. Although it is apropriate for anybody that can read "GooseBumps".
