Juniper Berry by M.P. Kozlowsky
4.0

This was very different from what was expecting, but I enjoyed it a lot!

The cover doesn't do justice to how creepy the book is, in a very Coraline-esque way. Juniper is an amazing character and I loved following her story. The premise was interesting and I did feel there was good tension throughout.

I did feel the pacing was off. The beginning was pretty slow paced and the ending happened fairly quickly. It wasn't enough to deter me from reading, but I did notice it.

Overall, this is a creepy (in a fun way) middle grade with some good life lessons. It would be a great read for children and adults.
