Hatin' on Necromancer

by Lish McBride

I don't know about you, but I'm a big scaredy cat when it comes to books and movies. That's probably why I didn't love Lish McBride's book, Hold Me Closer, Necromancer. Now you're probably wondering why I still included it as a Bulldogs Read book for this year...Well, first off, Mr. Owens could not stop raving about it last year and said that boys will absolutely love it. Secondly, it is set in Seattle with a skateboard riding, burger flipping hero, which is pretty cool. And finally...
I know that there are some of you that are crazy enough to actually like being freaked out as you read. So if you're the type of person that thinks a book about a kid who can raise people from the dead and is being forced to use his necromancer powers sounds like a fun read, then be my guest. But don't say I didn't warn you! Oh, and did I mention it's gory? Prepare to be grossed out!
