At first Daniel dismisses the tales of the witch and her man-eating razorback hog, Bloody Bones, as superstitious nonsense, but gradually he is forced to believe that Erica is in real danger. When Erica vanishes, he knows she's been "took," and he must summon all his courage to confront Old Auntie a...

I mostly found Took a little weird and definitely disappointing. I just don't think I like Mary Downing Hahn's writing style and that I'm way too old to properly enjoy this juvenile book. Daniel and his sister, Erica, have been forced to move with their parents to West Virginia. They have no mone...

Review by Autumn (my ten-year-old daughter). She would also like to thank everyone who liked her review of Doctor Who: The Drosten Curse.Actual rating: 4.5 stars.In August my dad was sent a free review copy of a ghost story. I really like how the book transitions from Daniel’s point of view (which i...

I was enjoying this quite a bit throughout. It had a level of nostalgia about it, given how many of this type of thing I read as a child, and I my expectations were not even remotely high. I just wanted a ghost-filled romp with a bit of mystery that wrapped up well. I got everything except that la...

Ok, first of all... WITCHES! So, is it safe to say that my love of witches has lead to, based only on title, read this book? Yes, yes it is. I did enjoy it better than the other Mary Downing Hahn book I had read, Wait Till Helen Comes. The main girl is an annoying brat, but she does go throug...

I've read a lot basically my whole life. Some books stick with you for a while. Some stick with you for years. And some, some stick with you forever. I think Wait Till Helen Comes will be one of my "forever" books. This, along with The Dollhouse Murders and Behind the Attic Wall, are stories I not...

This book is sad, a bit creepy and kind of intense, definitely a little bit different than her other works. This book is about this boy named Brendan who is a foster child and has a miserable life until he builds a tree house in the forest and meets this green man. This story touches so many subje...

I really liked this book, though it had some slow moments, it also scared me a bit at some parts. The reason I gave a 4 star? Because I frankly got a bit tired of all the whining about them raising the ghosts and them being bad and boohoo. I get it, they were bad, they did something wrong, now can w...

This book was ok. It wasn't the greatest vampire story out there. The story is about Cynda, who goes to Maine to stay with her father, stepmother and stepbrother in their inn while her mother and her mother's boyfriend go to Italy. During this time a stranger, Vincent, comes to the inn to stay for a...
