Review
The number one rule in any horror story is don’t split up, but that is exactly what happens to Poppy, Marcus, Dash, Dylan, and Azumi, the kids trapped in Shadow House. Disappearing doors and creatures that build illusions based on your greatest desires and greatest fears, make the second book in the Shadow House series a fast-paced story that will keep readers turning the pages. The text is accompanied by eerie pictures that are just the right amount of creepy for middle schoolers looking for a good horror story. There is an app that accompanies that allows the reader to enter “Shadow House”; each image is marked by a symbol that will reveal a haunting. This will entice many readers. Purchase this book where the first book in the series is popular and where more horror is needed for tween readers.
Overall Book Score: good
