Creepy but good middle grade fantasy horror. Reminds me of reading my Goosebumps books as a child. Passing it on to my daughter to read next.

I wasn't expecting this book to be so deliciously creepy. It had just enough realism to make me nervous as to what might be lurking in the shadows. I particularly like the themes of isolation from peers and alternate home lives.

Great, creepy kids book! I picked this book up because it was being compared to Stranger Things and it did not disappoint.
