Recommended to me by another student..I started to read this book, and then I couldn't put it down.  I started talking to characters about not "opening the  door." 

I had my thoughts  about the family moving into such a house.

I believe that the house does have a personality!

So what can I say...good plot, good characters, good setting, it's almost Haloween...

Great Book!
My advice: Becareful when you open the next door!

Who has the next book???
