Behind the Bookcase

The premise of the book was interesting, but I was let down. On Goodreads it says if you like Alice in Wonderland, The Twilight Zone and Caroline than you will most likely enjoy this book. I didn't feel this to me true. Although it does have some of those elements in the book, the descriptions weren't strong enough. For instance if the author could have written more of the five senses into this book than I would have been more immersed in the book. The characters to me also seemed a little flat. This maybe because the book was geared for ages 8-12 (so basically middle grade). This may have been written this way so the book wouldn't have seen as complicated and if this is true I can understand that. I did enjoy the illustrations as well. The book ending seemed so incomplete to me. Overall, I do recommend this book because it is a simple read with an interesting premise.
