What a strange book. Those three stars are becauseThe Nestis very well written. It's creepy and captivating and I read it in one sitting. However, I don't know what child I'd give this book to. It's a psychological horror story, and when I say horror, I'm not talking Goosebumps. This would have given my daughter nightmares for sure when she was younger. So while I appreciate the skill in writing such a book, it just wasn't for me.
