This was an easy read. It’s about on the same level as the A
Series of Unfortunate Events series by Lemony Snicket, but is not as sad (so far anyway)!
Not a whole lot happened in this book. It mostly introduces
you to the characters and gives a very brief back story on them. The family
moves in to a new house and strange things start happening. They investigate
and find a secret room which will start opening their eyes to the “fantastical
world around them”.
The end reminded me of the Lemony Snicket books in that the
author warns the reader to put the book down and not read anymore. In this story, the brownie (boggart) warns
the children to throw the book away. I
obviously do not believe that they will do that.
I carpool with my husband for half of my drive to work every
day. We listen to audiobooks during that half of the drive which I really like –
right now we are finishing off the Lemony Snicket series (we’re in the middle
of book 12)! But I’ve been thinking I want
to listen to something for the second half of my drive too since I don’t get
much time to myself to read anymore with a 1 year old at home. I think these will be good to listen to for
my second half of the drive.
