I love Aldridge's use of atmosphere in "Deephaven" to create a little mystery and magic. It was perfectly creepy and charming, and I especially enjoyed how for all the angst and terror in the plot, the queer elements were quiet and angst-free: not a horror story about queerness, but a horror story with queerness in it.

I am not the target audience, but a good book for 8 year olds makes you feel like you've become one again. Elementary school me would have loved it, and the art is perfect.
