by Ilsa J. Bick, Joshua Swanson
The cover is what drew me to the book I didn't even read the synopsis at all until I went onto Goodreads to add this book to my current reading list. This wasn't as scary as I thought it would be with the title being Draw the Dark. Mostly this book is about a young boy who ends up solving a murde...
The fourth star is given only because I know where she is going with all this.This was an interesting book with a lot of plot elements that don't quite balance. Ilsa J. Bick is a wonderful writer, and in her last two books she has proven herself a master of the sophisticated dispersal of information...

Rather, it was a blend of fantasy, mystery and history. And it was history part caught me. I wouldn't say I'm a his...
I was disappointed when I first saw that this book was classified as young adult. I almost returned it; however, I am happy I chose to continue to read it. This book was anything but superficial. The story was creepy and mysterious from page one and kept my attention to the last page. A word of warn...
I didn’t really know what to expect when I started this book. First of all, I have to say that after finishing the book, I really liked it and plan to suggest it for my son to read. The first section, entitled “November1, Late Morning Winter, Wisconsin left me wondering what I was about to read. I t...
