Publisher's Summary

Multiplatform takes on horror with a trilogy that brings Miss Peregrine to middle grade with an online Skeleton Creek twist!

Come play with us....

Buildings have memories. Places bear scars. We've all had those moments - a chill in the air, a sense that something terrible once happened where we stand. But some houses are more than scary. They're hungry.

Larkspur House has lured five kids inside, and they're trapped. The five will have to look carefully - there are clues to the house's secrets scattered all over the grounds, and if they can figure out the past, it might show them a way out of their terrifying present. Will they stay strong enough to discover the house's weakness and escape? Or will the horrors of Larkspur House scare the five right out of their minds?

Somewhat A enjoyable read

This book was fairly predictable. I felt as though there was something missing, I wanted a bigger climax and I just didn’t get one. Of course the ending had to be a cliffhanger for the next read in the series but I just don’t understand why the author chose to stop the book at the beginning of what seemed to be some action and suspense.

Positive notes: I liked how the author included some creepy photos in different parts of the books. For a middle grade novel it sure did creep me out at times. Also I wasn’t expecting the plot twist with Dylan at the end of the book.
Will I read the next novel. In the series? I’ll think about it, would I recommend it? Nope. Simply because I’ve put grown the reading level and my friends definitely have to.

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
