review 1: When eleven-year-old twins Hannah and Anna move into the house on Hemlock Road, they are as close as two sisters can be. But there is another presence in the house -- one that speaks to Hannah, haunting her mind and tearing the girls apart. Told from the viewpoint of this ghostly presence, the story weaves together both the twins' family's present and the ghost's past, bringing them closer and closer to the big climax.The mysterious point-of-view is what makes this book unique, as it keeps the reader guessing who is telling the story and why she is so bitter -- and why she is dead. Although I enjoyed that mystery, as the story continued I did begin to find the ghost's extreme bitterness and frequent comments on every detail of the family's life a bit tedious. As a middle g... morerade reader, however, I would have loved the mystery, and characters who are twins are often a big sell. In addition, it was nice to see a fairly clean horror novel, and the house's mysterious past kept me reading. Because the voice is fairly asexual, it would interest both boys and girls, although the use of the word "Girl" in the title could be a turn-off for boys.
review 2: What did you like about the book? why? I liked it when they first moved to the new house. Hannah and Anna got mad at their sister Selena because they think she was the one to convince their mom and dad to move. But they had to move because their house is getting rebuilt. When they move, they sit in a car and they get in trouble for doing it. They would draw alot and they drew something of a tree and other stuff. Then they decided to scare their sister when their mom goes to the store.Do you want to read other books by this author?YESSSSSSS! Because it was interesting and the author had very good detail.I like the book because it is a scary book. The author is a really good writer, even though this is the first book I read of hers. This I have to say wasn't that scary, though, but I still think it was a good book. She is a good writer!!!!! less
