Annie Was Warned by Jarrett J. Krosoczka

This book made me smile. There is a little feeling of rebellion and of being brave. I loved the art and it's unusual to have an older looking kid as lead in the story. She looked 13 or something.

She is told not to go to the haunted mansion. She is even dared. Well, she is brave and not scared and she goes anyway. There is a fold out at the end that reveals what is at the mansion. The line before the page does give it away. I always thought it would be cool to be born on Halloween, but maybe not as everyone else wants to trick-or-treat.

The kids had great fun with this book. The nephew really got into the mystery. The niece yelled out as soon as she knew what was going to happen and was proud when it was right. My niece is very smart. The niece also liked the blue streak in the girls hair. I like this story.
