Review:
I really loved this book!! This has officially made it to my top middle grade favorites and it was spookily delicious. I'm in love with Simon as a little cousin type of character and I wanted to do nothing more than to root for him. EMOTIONALLY INVESTED!!! I got semi 13 Ghost vibes from this and I loved every second of it. I also enjoyed having so many different characters that all got just enough page time and it didn't turn into an overwhelming experience. Richard does such an amazing job developing and rotating his characters in and out of the spot light so, if you don't read this book for anything else, read it for the characters.
I really just loved the whole set up of the book; the characters back stories, the family drama, but especially the plot twist. This is perfect for those of you that want heart pumping creepy but not nightmares. Expect the unexpected kids.
