  6. Lisa Lisa is smart girl who is also attending high school. Lisa has a dream to become a great magician. In the book all the pressure ends on her. Will she know enough magic to help her friends make it out alive, or will it all end in death.

  7. Genre The genre of this book is a mystery, or a mystery suspense. The definition of mystery is“anything that is kept secret or remains unexplained or unknown”.

  8. Plot • 1st – Bo`s car breaks down, so the go into a an old “L” shaped house where a man greets them. • 2nd – The man leaves with a woman stating they have a party to go to. • 3rd - The 4 kids start to realize that someone or something is in the house. • 4th – The kids play a trap to try to find out who or what the thing is. • 5th the kids get picked up by the Sheriff and return home with a different type of story to tell.

  9. Setting The setting of this book take place in an old “L” shaped house. In the house the main places the kids wait are in the kitchen, the living room, and in a little room in the middle of the hall.

  10. Theme In my opinion the theme of this book is friendship, bravery, and trust. I would say friendship because of all the relationships and stronger friendships formed in this book. I would say bravery because of all the situations the kids went through, that they had to be brave. Lastly I say trust. All the kids have to trust in each other and believe that no one would leave them behind, if they were to get out.
