The Unseen World of Poppy Malone
review 1: Poppy Malone is a skeptic in a family of paranormal scientists. For Poppy nothing is real without proof. So when she sees a goblin in the attic one day she sets out to document and prove what she has seen. Unfortunately, goblins are tricky creatures and Poppy can't quite get her proof. However, when her little brother starts acting strange Poppy realizes that she has to try and convince her siblings that he has been kidnapped by the goblins before it's too late. This was a cute and entertaining book. Good for fans of the "Spiderwick Chronicles" who want something a little longer. It is the first in a series so kids can continue their adventures with Poppy in the next book "A Gust of Ghosts."
review 2: The story centers on Poppy who wants to be normal but living
... more in a house with parents who study the paranormal makes things a little complicated. When Poppy crosses paths with a Goblin she is determined to find scientific proof of their existence, being the logical one in the family. I like the character of Poppy. She is smart and pretty resourceful. I just found that the book seemed to lag in explaining the parents paranormal exploits and in setting up the "accidents" that occur around the house due to the Goblin. It isn't until about half way through the book that the true plot of the story is revealed and then wrapped up pretty quickly after that. less
