Ally Ally Oxen Free by M. Allman

Picture                                             *Audiobook Review
     I was told this story was really spooky; something that would really get me- especially because it was about kids.  Those words may as well have been a challenge, because I knew I needed to hear it.

Evidently, I don't know much...

  The story is centered around a handful of elementary school kids.  They're typical, but one is in to archeology- the search and discovery of bones.  He would go to a neighbor's lot and dig about, hoping to find animal bones so he could figure TOD's and stuff like that.  Anyway, I can't say much more than that or I'll be offering up SPOILERS!  And I ain't doing that!  lol

     So to be frank, this story was NOT spooky.  It was NOT scary and my son is 11 and would NOT have been afraid.  The author spent so much time on the kids in class and playing Hide 'n Go Seek, there was barely any time for the spookiness to even begin!  The only details provided were on the missing girl, so to say I had to use my imagination would be an understatement!

     This story was free, so I won't cry about it, but it was meh...  Next story!
