Nicely done. Good plotline for very Young Adults with a fascinating premise of channeling deceased geniuses.

Even though I read plenty of YA horror books when I was younger, I never got to read a Lois Duncan book. I'm happy that this was my first and I really enjoyed it. It reminded me a lot of classic gothic horror films like House of Usher and House on Haunted Hill and I loved Lois's writing! There were scary parts, edge of your seat moments, and a twist I never saw coming. Since this came out in 1974, it felt super original for that time and even now I feel like it still holds that originality. I'm excited to watch the movie adaption this month and see how they adapt this eerie story to screen. This is a perfect read for October. :) - R.C.

Não tava esperando muito do livro, mas ele foi bem divertido em todos os sentidos. Gostei muito da ambientação com a escola isolada e da amizade das meninas. O elemento paranormal também foi bem intrigante. única coisa é que tudo foi desenvolvido rápido demaaaais.
