Your Avatar looks cool! But 2 bad my Avatar looks like me

Answer 2

That's very good but there are some spelling issues. It is frightening not freightening =P. Also work on the sentence fragments in the beginning. In a summary there needs to be complete sentences. Goodness it has been a long time since i've read that book. It was a VERY good book. You could go to sparknotes.com and type the name of the book in the search bar and read the summary that they have created. It will give you a better idea on what ideas you could add to yours to make it better. Hope this helps ;)
