A disturbing children's book as well as terrifying experence for adults as well. This books makes us realize that sometimes our biggest dreams could turn into our worst nightmares. The story starts out as the little boy flies with his new friend Wendell(who flys into his room)to Mr Hoods holiday house. It starts out great as he meets a nice lady cook, a new chubby friend, and a different holiday and season everyday. But when the kids realize that the cook has not left the house in quite sometime, they realize that the house will never let them leave and they will be prisoners in that house until the day they die. This is a fantastic read for anyone.   hide

This is a brilliant children's book. Adults will love it too. Harry Potter? I don't think so...Buy it, read it, share it. If you like this, you'll like Barker's new Abarat books too.

This book was assigned reading for 7th grade. I loved the book so much that I looked for a copy of it in bookstores for years. FINALLY, this past year, I got my own copy, I have read it three times since then and I still love it. So, yes, I would recommend it to anyone. I don't care if it's not my age group, I love it.

A VERY DARK Adult-type Children's fantasy (Think SCARY Harry Pottter on a MUCH better/deeper level)... one of my favorites! An amazing read. Warning: Extremely difficult to put down after you open it
