I absolutely loved the witty writing and narrator of this book. The atmosphere was the perfect mix of spooky and whimsical. The plot was so intriguing and I’m always a sucker for a group of kids with special abilities.
Note: although listed as a “horror” book I wouldn’t call it that and think it might give people the wrong expectations. The horror is more so a spooky undertone to the main whimsical and strange fantasy.
