*MY IMPRESSIONS*
For instance, the children are all about twelve years old, so they are doing things that mostly twelve year olds do like sleep-overs and going to the mall. They also got their evidence in a way that young children would have in this situation. They were considered “amateur sleuths” who found their own evidence and then proceeded to find out what happened on their own.
What I liked most about this one was the way it not only made the reader want to know what was happening with the dollhouse, but what was also scaring them as well. Being honest, this would have scared me back then and I wouldn’t have enjoyed it much, but now I’ve read and can honestly say I did really like it.
The only thing I didn’t like about it, was the fact that there was no real explanation of what happened. The author never gives a clear definition as to what actually happened. so there was nothing really solved. Isn’t that what they are meant to do?
