4.0

I expected a fun magic mystery book. It was actually a decent horror novel. It's for kids, so it's not crazy intense, but it's creepy. Like a mixture of It and Sinister but also neither of those.

It's too fast-paced for decent plot development imo, but, again, it's for kids, so it fits with the pacing of a middle grade book.

Recommend if you want to read something spooky and quick.
