Have you ever read a good book? What makes that book good? Some might say because of the adventure. Others might say because of the romance. Well, May Bird and The Ever After is one of the best books I’ve ever read. It has suspense, adventure, and the author describes everything so well, I felt like I was there right along beside the characters.
May Bird and The Ever After takes place starting in a small town in West Virginia. May lives with her mother and cat in a white house just outside Briery Swamp. Briery Swamp is a lake in the middle of a forest. It is a very dark and dreary place, where there are noises and shadows everywhere you turn. Later in the book May ends up in The Ever After. The Ever After is a star a million miles from earth where people go once they have died. The Ever After is a big world filled with ghosts, spirits, specters, and anything else dead. It is very dark and very dangerous. Nobody is safe there.
May Ellen Bird is the main character of my book. May has big brown eyes and short, thick black hair. She is a bright, adventurous, and a very creative girl. She is a live one who gets sucked into The Ever After. As the author talks about May, I feel as if I really know her. May lives at home with her mom and Somber Kitty. Somber Kitty is a very brave, very hairless cat and he is May’s best and only friend. Along May’s path she is helped by her house ghost, Pumpkin. He is a very weird creature, with a big head little hair, and a lop-sided smile. Pumpkin travels with May on her journey.
In May Bird and The Ever After, a young girl named May is sucked into a very different world, where you go when your dead. But, the truth is, May isn’t dead yet. She is a live one, as they call it, and she shouldn’t be there. In The Ever After there is a creature called the Bodey. His job is to get rid of everyone that shouldn’t be in The Ever After. He has heard that May has entered and he is now after her. May is in a lot of trouble. She is trying to get out of The Ever After, and boy it is a struggle. She meets and loses many friends along the way. She is being attacked and faces many problems.
The whole time I was reading this book I have felt like I have been along side with May. Traveling with her in her struggles to get out of The Ever After. I would definitely recommend this book to anyone who loves to read or doesn’t. This is a very good book. I never wanted to put it down. I felt like I saw what they saw, smelt what they smelt, and felt what they felt.

This book sounds very interesting. I see how it builds suspense and how you actually feel like your facing the same problems as the book characters. I like how you put a lot of detail in May Bird's personality and characteristics. Overall I think May Bird and The Ever After sounds like a good book and I might consider reading this book.
ReplyDeleteRachel, you discribed your setting very well,I could visualize the setting in my head without reading the book. This book sounds very interesting,with a girl that goes to another world and all.
