Reviews

  • Fabulous. A very fast-pace and exciting book. Not to mention, surprisingly, well-written. A boy, Simon, comes to a Mill House with his new step-dad and tensions are higher than the deep blue sky. With the forces of evil closing in (a trio of scarecrows) and the arrival of an old friend things are on an all-high intense-level. Just a...WOW!!!!!!

  • Great read!! My child loved this book!!

  • Excellent

  • I was intrigued by the book description. HOwever, the book didn't quite live up to the hype. Disappointing, but OK.
