I loved this book! I don't normally read young adult novels, but when I read the description for this one, I knew I wanted to give it a chance. This book is very imaginative, funny, and I enjoyed the suspense and mystery within. This is a great first novel by the author and I am looking forward to reading future novels by her.

I really liked this book. Spooky, excellent and pervasive figurative language, classic narrative arc. Imagine if Shirley Jackson rewrote The Haunting of Hill House for early middle schoolers but maintained the sentence-level quality of the writing. If you're into John Bellairs, Neil Gaiman, CS Lewis, check it out. It starts to feel a bit like it's trying too hard to be made into a movie towards the middle, but it gets surprisingly heavy at the climax.

A very cute, fun, and wee bit creepy read! I loved all the talking cat's!

I think I may have liked this better if I had read it instead of listened to it. There is nothing at all wrong with the audio version but sometimes you want to control your pacing and gloss over parts.

Great Book! Very fun Middle Grade series and I am excited to continue. the story is a bit unoriginal, I mean, girl moves into an old house, the house feels strange, it turns out magical things are happening in the house. Nonetheless, This story was super fun to read and I recommend this for 9-13 year olds!
