Review

This story' s main character is Norris Brown. He had a bookstore that it called the Black Cat Bookstore. The store had only ghost books, because he likes a ghost. And it had a ghost. He had a cat that called Cobweb, because he likes a cat. Cobweb ate only cheese, so they always ate cheese at breakfast. One morning, He put a sign "Valentine' s Day SALE." in the window. So the store was so busy, so he was so tired. He wanted help, so he put a new sign "HELP WANTED!" in the window. The next morning, a woman came to visit in the book store. Her name is Emily Button. She said, "I want to work here, and I like ghost books!" Mr. Brown emplyed her soon. Also she likes cats and ghosts, cheese. Mr. Brown and she were same favorite things, so they were so compatible. They liked each other. On Valentine' s Day morning, he wrote a letter "Miss Button, please have dinner with me tonight. LOVE, Norris Brown". But he could not give it. Miss Button wrote a letter "Mr. Brown, please have dinner with me tonight. LOVE, Emily Button". But she could not give it, too. At that Cobweb and mice carried the letters and they moved for them. They jumped onto a bookcase, so the letters dropped in front of them. Mr. Brown and Miss Button saw it, and they said "Dinner would be wonderful!" After that, they made hearts out of string cheese and cheese pizza, cheesecake. And they thanked Cobweb and mice, and they had a good time.
