This was cute and fun! I've always wondered what a children's thriller/horror novel with AfroCaribbean inspired elements would be like, and this didn't disappoint. I really enjoyed the author's use of AfroCaribbean folklore about 'Jumbies' to tell this story, and the kids/heroines of this story were so cute.
