Title of Work:	What Happened to Cass McBride
Author/Artist:	Gail Giles
Reviewer:	Samantha	Grade:	9
Review Date:	February 15, 2007
Rating:	**** Four Stars (pretty good)
Review:
What Happened to Cass McBride is a gripping young adult novel by Gail Giles, the author of many other amazing books. It’s the story of the revenge Kyle Kirby seeks on Cass and why he wants revenge. He kidnaps her and buries her alive. Cass fights to stay alive and realize exactly why Kyle wants revenge on her and how he works. She learns the power of words as others become involved in search to find her. This book will keep you enthralled, as it switches perspectives to reveal what lead to this kidnapping. The descriptions, with their wonderful accuracy, will make you experience claustrophobia. All in all, it’s a great book that I recommend.

This has to be the best muscial of the summer! I absolutely loved it! It doesn't get any better than John Travolta dressed up as a woman. If you haven't seen this yet than you have to go like now!

Review:
We had to watch this movie in school and I just really love it!! Movies about the war really get you into it. Like, when they show the British army, you just despise them so much but in today's world, we find them really cool.

This has to be the best album of all time!!! It's great and the music is upbeat. Although The Beatles are from the 60's, they're GREAT!!!
