Clown In A Cornfield
By: Adam Cesare Review By: Sharlene
When Quinn Maybrook moves to the struggling small town of Kettle Springs, she quickly discovers that Frendo—the town’s old clown mascot—is more than just a symbol of the past. As tensions between teens and adults boil over, the story erupts into a bloody fight for survival. After reading the book, you can watch the movie adaptation. This movie brings the characters even more to life and while there are some distinct differences between movie and book. The movie makes everything even more scary. Both the movie and the book have an eerie atmosphere and timely themes about generational conflict. This book is a gripping choice for readers who enjoy scary, high-energy horror. |

Pac-Man World Re-Pac 2 Review By: Sharlene Devices: Nintendo Switch Pac-Man World Re-Pac 2 brings the beloved classic Pac-Man World 2 back to life with updated graphics and smoother gameplay, all while keeping the nostalgia intact. Players once again guide Pac-Man through vibrant, colorful worlds, collecting dots, battling ghosts, and solving puzzles. The game features enhanced visuals, but the core of the action—exploring creative levels and defeating quirky enemies—remains the same. While it might feel familiar to long-time fans, Re-Pac 2 successfully updates the classic experience for a new generation, making it perfect for both newcomers and those wanting to relive the retro fun. It’s a solid, charming platformer that will bring a smile to any Pac-Man fan. |
