The story Midnight Library by Damien Graves is not a ordinary story. This book has three stories that are very mysterious. The first story is called Liar and it is about a young girl named Lauren. It is Laurens birthday and her parents usually work late, so when she got home from school she expected for there to be nobody there. Later on Laurens dad came home to celebrate Laurens birthday. To Laurens surprise, her father got Lauren her very own computer. Lauren goes on to her computer and decides that when she is on the Internet, she should be a fashion model with long blond hair named Jennifer. Soon Lauren finds out that she is telling all these make believe things to kids in her class. Lauren is afraid because now when she goes on the computer she will have to lie to keep the truth secret. Next thing Lauren knows, she is a figment of Jennifer’s imagination. The next story is called Tickets Please which is about three kids named Brian, Craig, and Emily. Brian, Craig, and Emily are going to a basketball game and they need to get there by train but there is one problem and that is when they get to the train station, they have no money. While the kids are thinking of something to do, Brian tells Craig and Emily about his Great Uncle Ray. Brian’s Great Uncle Ray was once on a train ride to a basketball game and suddenly he disappeared with his foam finger laying neatly on his seat. Brian comes up with this crazy plan to sneak on the train without a ticket and so Brian talks Craig and Emily into it. Later on, Brian sees a familiar man on the train and it was the same man that was selling tickets at the train station. To Brian’s astonishment, he finds out the strange man is his Great Uncle Ray. The last story is called Killing time with three girls; Alexis, Amber, and Tori. The three girls are at Alexis’s house and suddenly Alexis started to faint.  Alexis was just acting because she was excited about drama class where they play wink murder. Wink murder is a game where somebody winks at another person and pretends to die dramatically. Alexis cannot wink so her friend Tori said ” Don’t worry because someday you will be a good wink murderer”. When Alexis learns how to wink, she winked at Tori and then Tori fainted. The next day Alexis went on a feild trip with her class and winked at a dog at the animal shelter where they were because the dog seemed to like Alexis  but the  next thing she knows the dog fainted. Then Alexis remembered what Tori had said which was” Someday you will be a good wink murderer”.
