Okay,
By Penny Lane "The BandAid" (Virginia) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Man Who Was Poe (Paperback)
Reading this book in English class last semester was great. Avi did a great job with showing what she thought of Edgar Allen Poe. The book is a real page turner. I was suprised at how it ended. The only problem I had was when it was revealed who kidnapped Sis and what happended to Auntie. It was a little confusing.

The Man Who Was Poe,
By A Customer
This review is from: Man Who Was Poe (Paperback)
Have you ever read a book by Avi? I just read a book called The Man Who Was Poe by him, and it's awesome!This book takes place in Providence, Rhode Island. The problem is, Edmund, who is also the main character, can't find his Sis, or Aunty Pru! He goes out to look for them and finds a man who says his name is Mr. Dupin. But, it makes you wonder, is his name really Mr. Dupin, or is he disguising himself? Dupin decides to help Edmund find Sis and Aunty Pru. I would recommend this book for people who like mystery (and murder). This book is a bit like the Charlie Bone series without any magic. To find out if Edmund finds who he's looking for, and to see if Dupin is telling the whole truth, read this amazing book, The Man Who Was Poe. By Rachel Carlson
