Review for M is for magic( WIP)

Over break I've read a short story collection called M is for Magic by Neil Gaison. He particularly writes fantasy stories one of he's famous books is Coraline ( which I loved )The stories strengths is also its weakness which is mainly just some stories just lacked what it intended for and others were just amazing.

I really liked The Witch's Headstone, which was a story about a real boy who was been living in a graveyard and raised by ghosts. He decides to do a very kind thing for a ghost who didn't get a gravestone and the story really follows the adventure that goes with his decision.

The story I really love is,The Case of the four and twenty blackbirds.In this story the author's uses a spin on a nursery rhyme . Basically it's a detective needs to solve the mystery of who killed Humpty Dumpty. It is told with attitude and is very funny.The author put the character more in depth as if the character came to life. Gaison also uses foreshadowing to show hints about what really happened to Humpty Dumpty.

This book was intended for  elementary / middle school but besides that I would recommend it for people who love Gaison's work and for young adults who loves fantasy or .
