The Girl Behind the Glass by Jane Kelley

What can I say about this book?
I remember first reading it in six grade, and loving it to the point where I reread it in the same day! It’s a beautiful read, the writing is well written and sounds like the actual voice of an angry spirit. I love how the mystery slowly unravels of who the narrator is! At first, you think it’s going to be just the typical ominous narrator, but it isn’t!
The voice of this narrator is very unique and understandable. You feel the emotion as you read this book, the frustration! It’s so, so good.
I just love how the author captures that voice so perfectly, the narrator is in between a person and a mysterious being, and that really fits the story. The narrator knows what goes on in the house, but beyond it? No clue. That’s just good writing out there. It’s so, so good!!
Not only is the writing good, but the characters too. The twins (Hannah and Anna) can be separated. Hannah is the quiet, shy, skeptical one, while Anna is the more social, optimistic one. The two characters play well off of each other.
Now, I love this book, but I do have my gibes about it, mostly just a tiny plot hole at the end of the book. All I’m going to say about it is— Why did the older sister yell, “enemy approaching!”
