- a family moves out of town and the children discover a spooky mystery in the nearby woods
- remarkably suspenseful for the age group, but good ending
- convo: girl says “oh, phooey” to her parents
- language: x1 heck
Type: chapter book
Ages: 8+ (possibly younger, parents’ discretion)
Author: Carol Beach York
Illustrator: Reisie Lonette
It’s an obscure little book, this one. But York’s writing impressed me! She thoroughly had us on edge with her word choices and absorbing descriptions.
The entire book won’t take very long to read, so it might be an exciting read-aloud for your family. After a quick Amazon search, I see it may be difficult to find a physical copy; however, they do have it on Kindle (click here).
Happy reading!
