When Bronte was very young, her parents left her with her Aunt Isabelle so they could go on adventures. One day, they received a telegram saying her parents had died, killed by pirates. In their will it stated that Bronte must travel to all her aunts’ houses and give them gifts. But is this as simple (in a not-simple way) as it seems, or is something deeper going on?

Lockwood and Co. has done many cases since the last book, but this next case is unsettling. Edmund Bickerstaff’s grave has been discovered. Edmund was a man who was eaten by rats, and experimented in dark things, meaning his ghost may be dangerous. A mysterious item was discovered in his coffin as well, the bone glass, which is apparently a window to the place where the dead go. Will Lockwood and Co. be able to solve the case, or not?
This was a very good book, and I recommend it to all the readers of the Screaming Staircase, and give it a 10/10.
For my M.P. Challenge, I have done the Southern Tour, a cycling race on the South Island of Aotearoa. There were two national titles this year: one for the Hill Climb, and the other for the Time Trial. There were two other cyclists in my age group, another Bohally student, and a boy from Timaru. I got second in all my races, and I am very proud of myself. In the last race, though, the unexpected happened. It was the Road Race, and about 500 meters in, the boy from Timaru, who I was drafting off, swerved into my front wheel, yeeting me off my bike. I got multiple wounds on my left leg, a big sore on my hip, two messed up elbows, 2 blood blisters on my fingers, gravel stuck in my pinky, a sore on my 4th finger, and a sore ankle. Then, I got back up, back on my bike, and YEETED like the Big Unit that I am, straight through the finish line, beating everyone else by miles. Or…
I hung on to the other guys wheel, got dropped, and rode the rest of the 18 km in pain, finished in 2nd, got in an ambulance, got patched up, went to urgent care, and got sent home, and still have wounds as I am writing this report. But I DID get 2 silver medals, which turned out to be quite costly, as I then missed out on a lot, such as swim training, the e-pro 8 challenge, and a few days of music practice.
