The name of the star
The book I'm reading now is called The name of the star. It is set in London in about the 1800s. It's about an american girl who comes to London to a boarding school. She thought she was just going to be there doing school work and it would be like going to school at home. This was different. When Rory came to school, a rampage of murders broke loose. The murder is called Jack the Ripper. He actually was a real thing, this actually happened in the 1800s. The ripper started killing more and more people, and no one could see the actual murderer. No one could see him on tape, and everyone was shocked. This book is such a thrill ride, each chapter contains so many cliff-hangers and clues that don't let me put the book down. This book is a bit creepy, I love scary books but this one has a bit more gore to it. I REALLY hope everyone reads this book. It takes a bit of effort to really push past the beginning, but it's so worth it. This book honestly makes me want to move to London and be in Rory's position. To see all the stuff she has witnessed, it's amazing. I'm not sure if Rory was a real character in the actual 1800s, but it would be cool if Rory did live there in that time. I guarntee everyone will love this book. It has a bit of romance, gore, and a big hint of creepiness.
