My Review:
I loved that this book taught kids to fight their fears, and not to be afraid. It also talked about bullies, which is a major problem in schools today. The characters are all different, and they each have different abilities. I really enjoyed that the Fright School was so creative, and were all the character names. I could definitely see this book being turned into a movie. We all have fears and I think that a fun approach like this is the best way. I would like to read the next book to find out about Belladonna and her little girl that she has to protect. This is also nice because it is directed towards girls. Dream hopping was my favorite part of the book! I am giving this book a 5/5. I was given a copy to review, however all opinions are my own!
I have son that is very timid about new experiences. He said in children's church one day they were talking about bravery. He knew that he could be come grave with God's help. The next thing I knew, he is trying new experiences and fighting his fears of bees, going on the road on his bike (previously he worried about falling down),

DeleteAs a teacher I think the best way is for kids to try new things all the time, but if it's a huge fear, somtimes seeing parents do it first helps, but the swing was a fear for mine and it was over came by starting to sit on my lap first then slowly worked to being alone.
