Now that was a GOOD READ! 
 It was creepy, spooky, scary, icky, wicked, and horrifyingly delicious. I can't believe I waited so long to take this off of my shelf and give it a go. The story was amazing and fun and a few parts gave me the creeps, which is hard for books to do to me sometimes. I applaud this book for that. 
 This is about a young snooty twelve-year-old girl whose peculiar best friend goes missing and of course she has to find out what happened to him and that is when the creepiness begins. I thought I knew what this book was going to be about before I opened it and even 50 pages in I thought I still knew but then it took a turn and twisted into something completely different. This felt like two amazing books in one. It started out as a contemporary spookfest and then slammed right into a fantastical and horrifying roller-coaster, I COULD NOT PUT IT DOWWWWWWN. 
 If you enjoyed The Spiderwick Chronicles or Coraline then I'd say to read this NOW! Also, I'd recommend keeping a can of bug spray nearby in case you start to feel like creepy little beetles are nuzzled in your sleeves or ticking around in your blankets, cause this book will do that to you, trust me.
