review 1: A graveyard for dolls? That I don't have a problem with, but.....dolls that are buried in a graveyard and then beat you back into the house on their own - THAT I have a problem with. Mysterious, spooky, creepy - all words to describe this book. The ending felt a little bit rushed and so many characters - wish the author would have limited the doll characters to 2 or 3. I think my lower readers are really going to like this!
review 2: Adult Confession: This book actually kind of creeped me out a bit.Lois Ruby has a way of making books interesting for a younger audience by choosing subject matter that kids love and by using the things we fear as children to base her stories around.This was an interesting book from the very beginning, complete with the creepy... more house and creepy relative that leaves the main characters quite an inheritance.The story itself is easy reading, but does contain some more challenging words for readers who are looking to expand their vocabularies. The feeling of mystery and the unknown in this book is strong and compelling and perfect for a child who needs excitement to bypass their reluctance to keep reading.The length of the chapters is perfect, allowing breaks for the reader to go do other things frequently.This story is scary but not horrifying and has no gross material in it, so parents can feel good about their kids reading it.I would definitely recommend this book to parents and teachers for their children or students.This review is based on a complimentary copy from Netgalley and the publisher, Scholastic. All opinions are my own. less
