This Appearing House by Ally Malinenko

5.0

This was really, really good, and I'm honestly not sure how anyone let Ally be this creepy in a kids book. (The teeth! The skittering shrieking woman!) A lot of passages really hit home for me, too; it's an excellent exploration/explanation of chronic illness and the way a person can't really ever get rid of their past or find a way out from the looming threat of a potentially devastating future. The best we can do is not get caught up in it, not the ghosts drag us down with them.
