![]() ![]() Stormy weather makes my robot heart go pitter patter and a greystone in Lincoln Park is my dream home. The creep factor wasn’t shied away from for fear of scarring the children. But I know a good story when I read one and this little book was GOOD. Not only am I an old geezer, my kids are well past this age as well. Obviously Middle-Grade is not my typical genre. As if leaving her best pal and the Sunshine State behind wasn’t enough, Tessa thinks she now might be living in a haunted house! With the help of a few new friends, Tessa is determined to get to the bottom of what is making things go bump in the night. The story here is about Tessa, who has been uprooted from her life in Florida for the cold and rainy Chicago Fall due to her dad getting his dream job as first chair violin in the Chicago Symphony. That being said, if you think me knowing her in a former life has any impact whatsoever on my ratings/reviews, you are surely mistaken. ![]() You see, back in the dizzle she co-authored YA horror stories with Trisha Leaver so it wasn’t until I had already gobbled up both Creed and Silo that I noticed the second name in the byline and we made the connection via Facebook (ahhhhh, remember the Faceplace back in the day where you simply reconnected with old friends and it wasn’t a raging dumpster fire of political rants and drama llama nonsense?). An even more interesting tidbit might be the fact that I had already read a couple of her books before I even realized it. ![]()
