Customer Reviews

A book that will leave you shaking your head.

If you liked the movie that included the line "I see dead people" you will probably love this book. Not that it has anything to do with the aforementioned movie, except it involved troubled children who keep being mistaken as mentally ill and the people in their lives live to regret this recurring misdiagnosis. Engrossing, well written, HUGE and startling ending that will leave you speechless. I loved it and wished I had read it slower to make it last longer. Like mysteries? Like a little horror in your children? Get this book.
