Just seems like a great read. I read the back at ALA and It sounds totally interesting and fun!
-
There are so many wonderful aspects of this book: a creepy house, questionable background of prior owner, history of the owner dabbling in the mystical, and then there's the question of the father's mysterious termination from his job. This book sounds divine!
-

This looks like a book that will get the whole family reading.

A great looking book. I was very sorry to hear of Nick Vizzini's passing. I feel I owe it to him to read more of his work. Thanks for the opportunity.

It sounds really interesting, thank you for the giveaway! So sad to hear that the author died in December :(
-
I look forward to reading this book because it sounds like a great story. I love reading middle grade books; they're just a lot of fun. Sadly, I also want to read this because of the author's untimely and tragic death. RIP, Ned.

About Me
- Krystal Larson
- Chicago, Illinois, United States
- I'm a young college student who has probably read over 5000 books over the course of my short life; some of the books were classics, some of the books were terrific, and some of the books were...misses. Even with the latter part I will always believe in the power of books to completely remove the reader from his/her present reality. Long Live Books! I would love to read and review books from just about any genre. To contact me: edysicecreamlover18 AT gmail DOT com Thank you for your interest! At this time, I can only accept paperback or hardcover. The finished review copies I receive are either kept in my personal collection or donated to several libaries, schools, or charities-I have no control over the finished review copies after donation. *I claim no ownership for any images used on this site.
