i started updating the inventory in our library today- i work at an elementary school- and couldn't resist bringing a couple of the books home, books i looooooved in like, fourth grade, because clearly i'm made of 99% nostalgia and 1% human being. this one i did not love in fourth grade, but i did- and do- love bruce coville, and i can safely vouch that fourth-grade me would have loved this book. it's creepy, it's got a spunky heroine, one of those little towns where everyone wished they lived w

In terms of children's books, especially children's horror books, Bruce Coville's Nine Tanleven series is solid. This is the third book, and you don't need to read the other two to enjoy it. It's basically a really good ghost story with some historical interest involved - the painter is fictional, but doing a google image search for WWI era paintings brought up some pictures that were similar to the mental images Coville painted. Just read it.

This book was actually pretty good considering I sat down at 4:15 and had it finished by 5:30. The plot was unique and suspenseful. My only problem with this book was Coville's concept that ghosts took a human form, gave off their own light, could move objects, and interact with you. It seemed a little dumb...and took away a lot of the mystery of ghosts.

This shit was scary as hell when I was 7. Didn't sleep for a month. Thanks, Coville.

As an aspiring children's author, I found this book riveting in terms of creative plot twists. Every chapter end is a cliff hanger that draws you onto the next page, and pretty soon you've read all the way through.
