This is a book of every weird kid's dream. It's refreshing that horror is becoming bigger in middle grade. I come from the generation that only really had Goosebumps and I was obsessed. Unfortunately as my reading level progressed they didn't do much for me but I wasn't quite ready for the adult horror. I would have LOVED having this book as a kid. It pushes the boundaries of middle grade. It's uncomfortable but also one heck of an adventure. But I will say....this is not for the faint of heart. It is creepy and cringey and downright weird. Just what a weirdo like me loves. It's also not dumbed down so it's perfect for kids that have a higher reading level.
I was lucky enough to to be apart of a book club meeting that the author attended. Something he said that made me like the book even more was that he wasn't writing it to have some great lesson bestowed upon the readers but to create a sense of wonder. And I liked that. I liked the idea that there are books out there that's only purpose is to fuel the imaginations of kids. Especially when it comes to horror. And adults like me I guess.
I would recommend this for teens/adults and middle grade kids that really enjoy some weird stuff and have a good stomach.
