Nothing too serious. The Jared hate in the book was getting too forced cl!
Visiting this for the first time after wanting to explore series other people grew up with and loved.
Fantasy is still not something I'm overly comfortable with, even fantasy for younger audiences. But after reading and loving the first book in the Emily Wilde series, I thought I'd further look into light, cozy fantasy involving the fey/fae.
This was cute. Certainly only a mere introduction to this world but cute and whimsical, nonetheless. There's not TOO much to grasp onto but it did an excellent job at planting a seed for the rest of the series, something I will for sure be continuing.

Super short, didn’t seem like a whole book. Whets the appetite for more
Novela corta (115 p.) middlegrade perteneciente a esta ya famosa saga publicada en 2003. Cuenta con una adaptación estrenada en España en 2008 sin pena, ni gloria.
Unos hermanos se mudan a la antigua casa familiar y allí, al más estilo lovecraftiano empezarán a oir unos ruidos dentro de las paredes y al más estilo paranormal, empezarán a ocurrir cosas muy raras en la casa mientras ellos duermen...
Aunque pueda parecer que és un libro de terror es mucho más de misterio.
El libro cuenta con muchas ilustraciones y con un lenguaje senzillo y poco descriptivo. Para mí lo malo es que la trama va poco en línia recta y que los autores al intentar crear el suspense la han vuelto repetitiva, lenta y poco dinámica.
Al estar en la primera entrega de una saga, se nos presentan los elementos importantes (el libro y la casa que da nombre a la saga), pero el desarrollo de los personajes es inexistente.
Tampoco aporta ningún tema que invite a la reflexión, ni tan solo a nivel secundario.

Good start to a series.
I have books 1-5 so I will be reading the next book shortly.

This was cute! Honestly, I think it could have been just a chapter longer, as it felt a little rushed in some parts. But I understand this is a book for kids, and kids don't have quite the attention span for longer books.
I don't know whether I'll continue the series or not... I guess we'll see. Honestly, this is the kind of book I'd read to my third grade students or something. But I'm not sure I care enough to spend the money on the second one when I'll be the only one reading it...
With that said, this was a fun, enchanting, solid book for mid-to-late-elementary kids.
