My Opinion

I think this was one of the best novels I have ever read! This was definitely a great thriller and it kept me on the edge of my seat. I liked that it was realistic, and the characters personalities felt real and authentic. I loved the suspense, and the whole time, I was on the edge of my seat! The overall theme and the subtle hidden messages that were shown throughout the book were also great!

Age Rating

I would recommend this book for ages 10 and up. It has a very complex, but thrilling story line, and readers should be able to understand it. The vocabulary can also be advanced throughout the book. It is a wonderful read though, and can even be enjoyed by adults!

Rating- ⭐⭐⭐⭐

Synopsis

This book is about a girl who is just trying to enjoy her summer, but that is difficult because her 2 best friends are going to different destinations for the summer and she is stuck in a new place. With her multiple siblings, nobody pays attention to her either. That all changes when she meets a new friend in the woods. Now she finally has somebody to spend the summer with. But the girl is not who she seems.....

My Opinion

This book was interesting, but at some points, it got a little overly creepy. At one point, her friends come back to meet her new friend, and after that, it got creepy. It was an extremely interesting concept though and there were many twists and turns as well.  It also kept you at the edge of your seat the whole time, and I kept wanting to know what happened next!

Age Rating

I would recommend this book for ages 10 and up. It might get a little frighting for kids younger than that and it might have vocabulary that is too difficult for younger kids.
