The House on Stone's Throw Island by Dan Poblocki

4.0

I could not put this book down! I really wasn't a fan of The Stone Child and probably wouldn't have picked up Dan Poblocki's other books except this was on sale at the bookfair. I don't really like scary movies or books and the book had some legitimately creepy moments. However, evil was vanquished and it all turned out in the end so that's all I care about. I think the middle schoolers will really love this book as it features two 7th grade protagonists, the story is very action packed, and is a fast read even at 263 pages because you have to find out what happens next. There is no swearing and if you're bothered by the supernatural, you probably wouldn't have picked up this book in the first place. If you liked books such as The Lockwood & Co series or the Asylum series, you'll like this one.
