From the Files of Madison Finn #4

Forget ghosts--this Halloween, seventh grade is frightening enough
For Madison and her friends, the Halloween season is full of activity. There are ghost stories in English class, a big costume dance, and a scary-story contest on Madison's favorite website. No wonder everyone has Halloween fever! But Madison still needs to find a costume to wear that doesn't seem too babyish. And what if she looks stupid dancing in front of everyone? No matter what, this Halloween will be one to remember.

This installment in the Madison Finn series captured all of the nostalgia of Halloween as a kid and all of the events and Halloween dances that coincide with that.

I loved the ghost story that was included about Mrs. Martin in Fiona's attic. It's one of those spooky ghost stories that are fun and creepy but also is not too scary.

This was such a fun read and would be made even more fun if it was read/reread during the Autumn/Halloween season.

When I read this book, I was a child, and internet was no match for my Barbie dolls. Then came Madison. She expanded my mind and I can put myself in her situations, from studies, to music, to parents and even to boys. I liked Caught in the Web because it takes place in Halloween, which I love, and the characters are so cool here.

This was suppose to be the best halloween of her life but in a split second it was ended. Have you ever been casught in a room together with your worst enemy for days and you would have to see them more then you had before.

This year madison was so sycked up for the halloween party and she wanted to participate and help.becasue she didnt know what to do and she thought how she would be good at makeing spiders and spooky stuff she thought that it would be great to help with decorations but at the same time she puts up her hand her archenemy has hers up to.Wondering why this is and what happens read the book or if you jsut wanna know who i think should read this read on.

i thinks people who read this should have good times reading or going on the internet talking to freind becasue it has internet lingo and also people who like slice of life books would porbaly find this book quite entertaining.

I really enjoyed reading this book. Although, I like to read very poignant books and this book just had a cute story. If you are looking for a book about a girl's struggle to go to a halloween dance you should read this book.

I don't care who you are, if you think it's just for fun or whatever, you don't mess with ouija boards.

I think this book was a good book. I really liked this book!
It is Halloween and Madison decides to enter a story(scary) contest. Then she gets invited to a sleeping party and then
scary things start happening there. So it is more like a haunted house sleeping party!!
