Wow, wow, wow. I think I spent a total of five hours reading this book, it is so good. This story is equal parts creepy and heartwarming. The book is described as Encanto meets Coraline and it's right!

Micah's grandpa has warned her to stay away from the Finch house, with no explanations, just pleas to stay away and a promise from Micah to do just that. But a joyride around town before moving away with her mom brings her back to the Finch house, meeting its new owners. When her Poppop finds her there, he is less than pleased and immediately takes her home.
The next day her Poppop is nowhere to be found and a feeling leads her back to the Finch house, where her new friend Theo is hesitant to go back inside his haunted house and her Poppop's car is left abandoned down the street. Micah pushes back all the warnings to stay away and ventures inside to find out what happened to not only her Poppop but the children the house seems to have a hold on.

My only criticism, like so many movies and shows targeted at this age, is the total lack of parental involvement in the story. No way would I let my child step foot into a house owned by someone I have never met before, let alone stay the night.

*Thank you to Netgalley and the publisher for a galley of this book in exchange for an honest review.*
