pickThis was a fun, creepy MG tale that reminded me a lot of Jonathan Auxier‘s The Night Gardener. A father & his two kids move into a creepy old mansion for the summer, tasked with fixing the old clock that generates power for the house. It‘s isolated, there‘s no electricity, they‘re surrounded by a sinister-looking forest that gradually inches closer and closer to the house…nothing could go wrong here, right?! This was a perfect October read for me.
pickSweet story about family bonding, fear vs hope and new adventures. Enjoyed this MG novel in audio. A good read for #Scarathlon2021 #TeamHendrix #bookspinbingo #24in48 #spookoween #littenlisten 15 points 5 hrs . 3.5🌟#readingwithmaja #october
I recently won a signed copy of Watch Hollow: The Alchemist‘s Shadow! I can‘t wait to read it, but I have to read Watch Hollow first, which I plan to read in December! These sound like such fun, creepy middle grade stories!
pickThis fun mid-grade book was exactly what I needed to read right now. It‘s sort of a mix between Harry Potter and Narnia and even a little Something Wicked This Way Comes. My 12-year-old daughter is already reading it too and really liking it!
pickPretty good middle grade novel with nice narration. The creepy old mansion and spooky woods atmosphere was a lot of fun. I also enjoyed the clock mystery mixed with a dash of alchemy. The ending churns up a bunch of new variables which felt kind of forced as a way to leave room for sequels. Still it‘s a fun read for kids who like creepy, but not too scary.
