I read this because I was planning to assign it for the kids’ book club at my library, but I’m afraid a few small elements might be too gruesome. I like the general creepy and spooky atmosphere and I think the 9-12 set could handle that without too much issue, but man. If only it weren’t for those little things. I’ll think about it. Delightfully creepy, and I don't really like creepy stories. I will be sure to recommend this to fans of Coraline. Both have creepy substitute parents (and others), as well as acid-trip horror scenes. I don't know if it's because I was rushing through the scary parts, but when things really got going at the end, I found it hard to follow exactly what was going on. Was that intentional? That the reader be as disoriented as Victoria? Or was it sloppy writing? Hard to tell. ingen anmeldelser | tilføj en anmeldelse
Practically-perfect twelve-year-old Victoria Wright must lie, sneak, and break the rules when her investigation of the disappearance of her best--and only--friend, Lawrence, reveals dark secrets about her town and the orphanage run by the reclusive Mrs. Cavendish.

I must comment on the quality. And the creepiness. And the occasional roach.
Because atmospheric creepy reads is A Thing That Happens.
SO. Awesome. This is absolutely creeptastic! I loved it!
You all, YOU ALL.
This was a fantastically creepy shivery goodness.
And no, I am not capable of anything more coherent.
FINAL VERDICT: TRY IT! ( )
