Chills!! This is one hell of a dark twisted story. Short mind bender.
Gilly Ground is an 11 year old orphan who lives in an orphanage to become an apprentice for an eccentric man, Mr. Kobalt, who makes ladder and follows a strict and uncompromising schedule, until Gilly realizes Kobalts real plan...

I read this when I was in third grade and always remembered it as a good book with a twist. I recently found a copy from a vintage book seller and reread it... it is just as strangely profound today as it was all those years ago.

My memories of this book are very vague, but I know I read it at least a dozen times in grade school. I'm pretty sure the edition I had had some good illustrations, too.
