All the lovely bad ones

As usual...it could've been better. And it wasn't good. Sorry. I think I'm becoming a book snob from reading amazing long books. Whoops...

Fantastic! I am 43 and I loved this story. Mary Downing Hawn is so good at breathing life into her characters, even the dead ones. I found myself smiling at times and actually feeling scared for the children at others. This book had just the right amount of “scary” for kids. It also has a good second meaning for those kids that get teased in school or put down by anyone. No one can make you feel bad unless you let them.
