This was a very weird read... creepy and ominous throughout it felt like a YA not a children's book to me. The relationship between Violet and her brothers is bizarre and abusive, her parents marriage is problematic, and yet the story ends with a 'happily ever after vibe?! I'm seriously confused and definitely will not be recommending this to any of the (under 13) kids I teach! As an adult I enjoyed how effective the ominous atmosphere was, likes the illustrations and thought the changeling idea was really interesting & well handled but I feel I have to rate it as a kids book
