Charlotte thinks babysitting the six-year-old Wilbanks twins will be a walk in the park. She will put them to bed early and study for her SATs the next day. But the twins are excited as Halloween is tomorrow and they want to show off their costumes.
Soon, Charlotte begins to feel that something isn’t quite right. The children are a little odd and then there are the sounds that the twins seem to know about. Plus, something happened in this house eleven years ago….
Halloween, haunted houses, spiders (the worst), lasagna (what?), SATs, and identity. Whew! SGJ threw everything in the mix with this one. Nothing is wasted and everything has a reason for being in the book.
This is a hard book to identify because it morphed and like the children, is here and there and all over, but in a good creepy way. Like Charlotte, I really didn’t know what I was getting into. This is one where you just sit back and enjoy the creepy disturbing ride.
As this is only on Audio, choosing the right narrator is key and I thought the narrator did a great job.
SGJ fans will be very pleased with this audiobook. If you have not read/listened to his work before, this is a great place to start. It’s different and horrifying and I found it hard to stop listening – so I didn’t!
