Why? It is well written, but there are so many other well written books that wont give kids nightmares. It is definitely a book that kids should read only if they really want to read it.

The both agree that it was a very creepy book. Neither of them really enjoyed the book at all. One says that while it was frightening, it wasn't excessively so, and that she felt it was appropriate. The other daughter said that they read it as a class and it upset several of the students to the point where they were crying in class, and asked the teacher to stop reading it (the teacher didn't). This daughter felt that the book was totally inappropriate for children. My teenage boy had only seen the movie which he said was one of the creepiest movies he'd ever seen. With so many quality children's books out there, why wait your child's time on something that makes them feel uneasy?Becky B.https://www.blogger.com/profile/17323518137235559735noreply@blogger.com
