This is the best book I've read so far!


The reason I like this book is because it is funny and mysterious.


My favorite part in the book is the following: Rachel, Uncle Bennie and Jerry were supposed to clean the church. "This my Bubbah? asked Uncle Bennie, surveying his duster suspiciously. You know it's not, said Rachel. It's a duster. Oh, said Uncle Bennie a little disconsolately".
