MY TIDBITS
This was a book not to be put down, so make sure you've got a few hours before opening that first page.
The main character is a true delight--sassy, cute, warm hearted and simply in a class all of her own. I was surprised because I assumed this would have a very dark feel the whole way through. And there are enough moments to leave strange tingles running up and down the spine. But it's more than that.
This story grabs with humor, sweetness, and pretty dark twists at times. The conversations with the ghosts are a real treat and add a lovely sense of lightness to balance off the spookier shadows.
Summed up, this is a wonderful read even for chickens like me and definitely perfect for the upcoming Halloween season.
