Welcome to Litsy!

I think this gothic mystery may have sparked my love for dark and unsettling reads. This is actually the back cover of the edition I would have read back in elementary school (age 8 or 9), but this is the image that really stuck with me. Those poor residents, forced to live on watery gruel, will be sent to the Remembrance Room if they dare steal a peppermint.

I love this book! I wish I could read it over and over again with selective amnesia. It‘s not really a Christmas book, but I‘ve reread it every year around that time. If you haven‘t read it it‘s a very fun children‘s fiction book.

It's not easy to remember books read *in* school, but these came back to me. I LOVED this one by Barbara Wallace, probably the first Gothic style mystery I ever touched. Old people and mean caretakers and young waifs! So Edward Gorey but less grim. :)
