My Review
Okay. This book was weird. In a good way. What happens to the animals when they go near the tree? I would love to see a picture of the tree, is there a hidden compartment? Wha happened to Andy's relatives? Why is the neighbor so interested in Andy? How did the neighbor keep the secret hidden for so long? How much power does the secret have? It must be a lot to make people so evil.
These are all questions I asked myself before I started to read this book. The idea of a secret got me curious. The author delivered with so much going on, that I had to keep reading. I couldn't stop. I needed to find out if Andy would live.
I loved the good versus evil plot that was intertwined with characters growing up, and of course some spooky elements.
There is so much more to this book than that. The town seems to take on a new personality. Life in a small town is very different from where I live, especially in the 1950's. I enjoyed reading about simpler times. I liked the ending and hope that the author scares some more books out of this town!
I am giving this book a 4/5 because it was not my favorite book, but still a great read that I gladly recommend to others!
