I mean sure he was weird, but I don't think he was suspicious at first glance.
We are introduced to many other characters in this book and but only a few really matters, come to think about it, the book only really talks about people that matters to the plot, we don't meet any unnecessary characters in this book! Which is great - straight to the point! I like Michael, at first I though he was irritating Bernie to get her attention I think they had nice chemistry between them. I liked that Michael believed her even though what she shared about Abbot sounded "crazy". Ugh, I hate that Bernie thought of hiding her finding of the etching from Michael was a good idea.
Gurl, he keeps coming back to you and cares about you. I don't think you can scare him away easy! Discussing the "plot" is a dead giveaway to the whole story because like I've mentioned earlier, This book is quite straight to the point and you get a very fast, easy and light read story. So taking about the whole mystery relevance would spoil the whole book!
There isn't so much as an unexpected twist, you already know who is the evil guy and how he is doing it. Now you just how to read the book to know how the supernatural "thing" started in the first place. After that, we just continue to read to see how Bernie is going to stop his evil doing! So that basically concluded the story: I enjoyed this book a lot, probably because I like all things to do with that category. I liked the forthright plot, characters, mystery and supernatural elements. This Gif had nothing to do with the book review but, it's too hilarious not to share!

Stein and his etchings — preferably before anyone else dies. The characters and their motives are realistic, and the main characters are well-developed. There are a few coincidences that I felt might be a bit too much in terms of how easy it is for Bernie to figure out what is going on with Mr. Stein, but for the most part it is a very solid read. Jenny Goebel has taken some very serious subjects and melded them together in a great Middle Grade novel with a hint of fantasy.
I have occasionally seen something similar with family-owned funeral homes, but never monument companies. These are the little moments that are sometimes overshadowed by wakes, funerals, etc. You can read the rest of my review at my blog: Oct 12, Becky rated it really liked it Shelves: Bernie knows that her family is a bit off.

Not one to take no for an answer, Bernie starts to snoop around the man's room and eventually finds an etching of a man who looks startlingly familiar. She'd almost forgotten about the incident when she learns that an old friend of her grandfather has just died. He and the man in the etching are one and the same, but why would Mr. From the start, I was impressed by how well Jenny Goebel brought Bernie to life.
From page one, Bernie just jumps off the page. Her voice, mannerisms, and attitude ring clear as a bell! Bernie is a clever kid who quickly figures out there's something wrong with Abbott Stein. Of course the adults are all clueless, but with the help of a fellow schoolmate and someone Bernie reluctantly calls a friend , she bravely throws herself into investigating. Goebel does a wonderful job of building an interesting mystery with some light supernatural elements and even some slightly gory details as well.
Given my own reading tastes as a kid, this definitely would have hit the spot for me it admittedly hit the spot for me as a somewhat grown up 32 year old, too.

The lives of the townspeople are at stake. I liked this book, although the beginning was way too slow. Stein had something to do with the deaths. I think this would appeal to children who are looking for something darker to read. The book is atmospheric and chilling, although not graphic. This is a 3.

As you can imagine, a m A Mystery with Gravestones, Ghosts, and Creepy Scenes For young readers who might be looking for a title with darker themes - here you go. As you can imagine, a mystery involving graves, cemeteries, and death will be a bit dark.
The themes are somber and sad at times. I felt it all was presented well and necessary for the storyline. I don't think it willbe too much for readers, but parents and teachers may want to pre-read. The highlights of the story were Michael, his cousin the crazy cheerleader , and matchmaking grandma Mimi.
Such fun and spunky characters. This book is definitely a touch different. It is a fresh, unique storyline and a well done mystery.

I really enjoyed the unique premise of the story told through Bernie's special voice, and how Ms. Goebel wove religion into the story. I would have preferred a realistic reason for the deaths but believe kids will enjoy the fantasy element. Nov 10, Susan rated it liked it Shelves: I enjoyed this novel about year old Bernie Bernadette who is certain the man her dad just hired to carve images on gravestones is evil.
It kept me reading, trying to find out if Mr. Stein was really killing the people with his carvings or whether the deaths were just coincidences. I would recommend this for 4th or 5th graders. I had a hard time liking any of the characters, but I think a 10 or 11 year old would enjoy this scary book.

I was like, Tombstones in her backyard? Generally, Graveyards fascinate me, and I thought that Grave Images would be an interesting read, as it focused on a family who made their livelihood designing the monuments that would adorn the resting places of the dead. Grave art is hot? The tone is quite dark, really. The story is told in the perspective of thirteen year old Bernie. After the loss of her baby brother, her mother becomes depressed and reclusive, spending most of her time in her room, caring little for Bernie or for life in general, and her once involved father starts ignoring her and focusing only on his work.
As is typical for kids that age, Bernie thinks that if she gets really good and if she does everything right, that she can restore happiness to her family. Unfortunately for Bernie, Mr. Stine completes his etchings before people die, and it becomes her mission to save the people of the town before it is too late for them all.
Stine evil, or was he psychic? Who would be next to die? There was also a bit of a love connection between Bernie and her friend Michael, and it was nice to see how she began to care about him against her better judgment, and how she tried to protect him at all cost. Not a cliff hanger, exactly, but not the most satisfying either, if you know what I mean? Attaining what you want most may come at a high price…A price much too high to consider paying. Aug 09, Chelsey Wolford rated it really liked it. Her mother is not much better off; she is unable to get out of bed most days, and is just depressed overall.
Abbott Stein, and Bernie finds him a little bit creepy and needs to figure out what exactly it is, so she enlists the help of her friend Michael. Stein is a beautiful artist and has the most intricate carvings on his monuments, but Bernie starts to notice an odd pattern. Stein carves the names of people into a monument before they are actually dead. After the name has been carved, the person always dies! I actually read this shortly after Halloween, and have been waiting for the opportune time to write my review.
This was the perfect Halloween read, full of suspense and well-developed creepy characters. Stein was the most well-written character of all.

The cover art is mysterious and leads readers into a greater understanding of the book, its setting, and conflicts. I like to separate all the adult and young adult books I read with a little middle grade literature every once in a while. Jenny Goebel did a wonderful job of taking some pretty big issues that people deal with every day and putting them into terms that a younger child could understand.
The book was creepy, but not creepy enough for someone of that age, and I truly believe this would be a book that parents would enjoy reading with their children as well! Feb 20, Alice Liu rated it it was amazing. There are two stories happening in Grave Images: Bernie knows a lot about death and not just because her family owns a tombstone company. She knows that the most hurtful kind of death is that when a living person, mother, refuses to live. She also knows that her mother doesn't love her enough to even try.
See a Problem?
But rather than collapse in her sadness, Bernie perseveres and tries her best to "fix" her family. Her wanting is so strong because her emotional needs are never met, so she is often impulsive. That would not be so much of a problem except for the creepy man who's moved into their carriage house, and whose sculptures seem to portend death. That is the second story I like how Jenny Goebel allows Bernie to experience her full range of emotions, including anger and vengeance, before pulling her back. Children often live with their emotions policed by the adults in her life, although Bernie self-polices her emotions because she has been forced to be the emotional adult of the family.
But in allowing Bernie her emotions, Bernie is able to understand the darker compulsions of creepy Mr. Stein, and how unabated sadness can turn to bitterness. Despite the dark theme, there is a lot of humor in this book as Bernie's thoughts are expressed with the blunt honestly often only seen in children. Especially fun are the odd, inexplicable feelings she develops towards Michael. Goebel has created a girl with a full emotional life within a dark, suspenseful story.

Bernie's friend, Michael, is a bit quirky and doesn't mind hanging out with her, so when she decides that the new engraver her father has hired, Abbot Stein, is super creepy, she enlists Michael's help in finding out more about him. Stein's carvings are beautifully realistic, but very creepy, and when he seems to have them completed even before the subjects of them have passed away, Bernie becomes alarmed and tries to investigate the mystery of the man and his creepy carving tools that were hardened in fire with human bones.
Can Bernie figure this out before more people in her town die, and can she help her mother as well? Good creepy cover, and the premise of the evil tools is a good one. Stein is described in elaborate creepy detail, and the investigation makes sense. The balance of family problems and creepy mystery is off. There is much too much time given to Bernie's mother's grief. It's hinted at, but not really explained until very far in the book, and overshadows the rest of the plot.
Readers who want creepy stories aren't usually as interested in books about family dynamics. Jan 17, Linnea rated it it was ok Shelves: Bernie's family runs a monument company headstones.
