Review
Trina and her dad move to an abandoned mansion known as Goldenrod. Trina hopes they can put down roots, and that maybe she'll even have a best friend. In the beginning the kids at school make fun of her. But then Trina finds Augustine, a talking antique doll. This event seems to bring her luck and possibly the life she has been looking for. The beginning is a bit of a slow read, but if the reader sticks with it they will enjoy the ending. I feel that the length of this book and the slow start maybe this books downfall.
Overall Book Score: fair
