A Curious Tale of the In-Between by Lauren DeStefano is a wonderful new book for children ages 8-12. Although it would be a great book for anyone over the age of 12 who loves a good mystery/ghost story.
I love this book. I loved it from the first paragraph. This is the kind of book I would have loved when I was young. The main character Pram is the kind of girl I would have wanted to be friends with when I was little.
Lauren DeStefano has woven a tale that is a spellbinding page turner. It may be a little dark for some but that is all part of it's charm. It has an instant classic feel about it, a must have new book for those who love magic, ghosts and mystery!
One reviewer described this as a "horror" book -- would you use that term?
ReplyDeleteI would say it has more of a gothic feel than horror....
