annelives 's review for:
The Cavendish Home for Boys and Girls
by Claire Legrand
Awesomely creepy and delightfully twisted.
So I didn't want this book to end. Seriously, it was that good. I loved loved Victoria's and Lawrence's relationship. Their interactions had me laughing out loud.
I loved how Victoria evolved as the story continued. While she still retains the quality that makes here perfect for the Stepfordish town, she also becomes a more compassionate character by the end of the book. I liked how a friendship that began as more of a project became a source of strength for her as the book continued.
One thing this book wasn't short on was the creep factor. There were times I had to stop reading or was squirming uncomfortably. One word, BUGS. Lots and lots of bugs, roaches to be precise. And then there are puppets, questionable meat, special candy, and a garden you couldn't pay me to step into.
Speaking of creepy, Mrs. Cavendish brings creepy to a new level. One villain I hope to never meet and let's face it if she was in my town as a kid I would so have been rounded up. So kinda terrified.
I loved this book and I hope to read many more books Claire Legrand. Do yourself a favor and read The Cavendish Home for Boys and Girls.
