The House on Parchment Street by Charles Robinson, Patricia A. McKillip

4.0

Bought myself one of Patricia McKillip’s earliest works, a middle grade ghost story to see what it was like! It was interesting to see her signature charm come through but in a “modern” setting with young kids. There is still the deep mystery there, but overlaid atop prickly kids who have to deal with each other and the adults in their lives. I actually Ike’s how this book treated the problem of adults in a kid’s story. It was neat to see the parental disbelief reckoned with in the face of supporting their child/the other kids. All in all this was neat to read! (I think the title could’ve been better, though, it does not really convey the plot.)
