The Cavendish Home for Boys and Girls
by Claire Legrand
I can’t think of a better way to spend the days leading up to Halloween than with The Cavendish Home For Boys and Girls by Claire Legrand. It was a spooky and delightful treat. I’m pretty choosy about middle grade reads. I’m thrilled that I picked this one up because it was so entertaining.
Victoria was a lovely no nonsense main character. She was a perfectionist of the highest order. I wasn’t sure if I would like her at first, but as her search for Lawrence continued I found myself enjoying her attitude quite a lot. I adored her turmoil over her B in music class. Victoria was really well done.
The story was also fantastic. All the grownups seem to be slowly morphing into…something else. Children are missing. There’s roaches everywhere–even on the pages! It was creepy and totally unpredictable.
The Cavendish Home For Boys and Girls was a charming and dark little book. I adored it a 25 and I would have adored it at 12 as well. If you’re looking for a fun new middle grade read I highly recommend this one.
