I believe it's a fine line to walk when writing a horror piece that deals with any sort of mental health to maintain a certain level of respect, and the author did a good job in this work! It would hit harder for parents, I think, but I found the characters very intriguing and was interested in the turns the story would take.

This was so weird and unique and I enjoyed every last bit of it. I also learned a lot about Margaret Wise Brown! Definitely not for everyone, but worth picking up if you're looking for something unusual and different with horror and psychological suspense vibes!
