Ooh, spooky book. But who are the spooky ones and which ones are getting haunted. Things are not so clear in this tale that centers on the daily life of a young girl in a small town.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I like reading books with mystery as well as intelligence – this had a great balance of both. A lot of things are unclear, and despite having a villain appear things were not what they seemed. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
There is an overarching message here, maybe about small town life and our responsibilities towards each other, and the way the tale unfolds it gradually becomes more apparent. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Next I am reading The Clockwork Girl by Anna Mazzola.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
