Customer Reviews

Not too horrific

This book is not very scarey, in the usual sense of the word, but it does make you a bit wary of placing your hand in a dish washer or of letting people rent your house... I wouldn't mind turning into a tree sometimes though. It is an interesting book, but there are better ones for those really looking for a scare.

the cover is misleading

If you're approaching Joan Aiken stories as horror stories, you'll be disappointed. the beauty of her writing is that she takes the ordinary and gives it a fantasy twist. Totally worth it for the slightly twisted young adult reader.
