Death Trials by Darren Shan Synopsis 3
Darren is only half vampire (which means he just drinks human blood), he lives with the vampire clan. He must face five trials to prove he is a worthy vampire, but if he fails he will die. He doesn't know what they are until he is told about it. The normal vampires have to go to the task straight away, but there was an exception made for Darren seeing as he is a half vampire. His trials were interrupted by the vampaneze (who killed their humans) declaring war on them. They murdered everyone, only Darren was left. They hunted him down, and found him in a strong current of freezing water. They wanted him because he was young and had bright ideas, Darren refused and said "I'd rather die!", and with that he was taken away by the current.

The Mirror Image Ghost by Catherine Storr Synopsis 2
Lisa was curious about the mirror in her grandparents room. She always wondered what her nose looked like from the side, so she got two mirrors and positioned them in the right place. She didn't like what she saw, and put the mirror down. But when she turned to go to the door she was gobsmacked when she noticed that this wasn't her grandparents room. Was this real? She screamed and began to run, but stopped when she was overlooking a big garden, she saw men lots of men with uniforms on. They were watching someone. Lisa turned around, behind her was a man holding a gun, he picked her up and carried her into the crowd. Everyone fell silent as he pushed her up next to a man. She looked up at him, and awoke with a scream. She then noticed that in her left hand she was holding a mirror.

The Diary Of a Young Girl by Anne Frank Synopsis 1
Anne Frank was a 13yr old Jew when Hitler started the Nazis. Her, her mum, dad and sister went into hiding. They went to her dads office where they made a secret annexe. She and her family were later joined by their friends the Van Daans. They always had to be quiet during the day otherwise the people in the office might hear them, but they also had to be quiet during the evenings otherwise the neighbours would hear!
One night the office was raided. No one thought that they would ever look behind the bookcase which hid the door to their annexe. This is where her diary ends, but we know that they were taken to a concentration camp. When the war ended her father (the only one still alive) took Anne's diary to get published. It was her dream to be a writer, and he tried to follow her dreams.
