A Fantastic, Wonderful, Greatly written Book

This book really caught my attention,because I just love scary books and this one looked like a scary book. I just got finished reading this book,and I can't get my mind off of it!The book is about a boy called David and his Brothers and his sisters. Oh, he also has a step sister called Amanda. When she comes to live with David, weird things start happening, like rocks just start appearing out of no where! Soon really weird stuff start happining that is very scary. And at the end they finally find the Cupid's head and things turn out all right!

The AWESOME book: "The Headless Cupid"

Hi, my name is Kate and I'm 13 years old. I just got done reading "The Headless Cupid" by Zilpha Keatley Snyder, and I think it is an AWESOME book! I liked how Mrs. Snyder kept the book going with Blair's premonitions, Amanda's hobby, and Janie's know-it-all attitude. This was my first book by Mrs. Snyder, and it won't be the last! Right now I'm working on "The Velvet Room." (which is really good too) "The Headless Cupid" is a good book to start out on because once you find out all of the author's twists in the story, it'll leave you wanting more to read by her!

Classic Storytelling, Haunting Characters

Zilpha Keatley Snyder is one of the unsung great childrens' writers of the 20th c. Her delicate blend of magic and realism should have earned her widespread recognition years ago. This said, discovering her books for yourself is one of those great reading pleasures.In The Headless Cupid, Amanda, the new stepsister, arrives in the Stanley household with a chip on her shoulder and a box of cool occult paraphenelia. The four Stanley children are fascinated and a little overwhelmed--but much to Amanda's surprise, they have a little magic to offer her in return.Mysterious, lovely, understated.

If you like mysterys,you will love this book!

this book is about four kids that live in this old house. Then along comes Amanda their new step-sister. She studys the supernataural,and the four other kids take lessons from her. When Amanda and her oldest step-brother find out the house was hauted at one time,they begin to wonder,has the ghost come back again?

Read it!!!

This book was really good. Once I started I just couldn't put it down!
