GREAT but spooky,
This review is from: Gravenhunger (Paperback)
Every chapter of this amazing book left me wanting to read on and on and on. I went to bed at 8, because I had stayed up late the previous night. I got told off for reading it for so long, because I couldn't put the book down. I read it for two hours! It really is a brilliant book. It's quite scary aswell at the end, but not too much. It wouldn't be too scary for an adult, but I am 10 and I found it quite a bit scary for the last 40 or 50 pages. I have read all the Harry Potter books, most of the Roald Dahl books, and they're no where near as good as Harriet Goodwin with this book. I want to buy her other book aswell, called The Boy Who Fell Down Exit 43. If you're about 9, 10 or 11 and you're thinking of buying this, or Mr Gum, or a Diary of a Wimpy Kid book, buy this. Its the best book I've ever read. Futhermore, its for boys and girls so that means even more can read it! Its the best book I've ever read.(By son of Compelled!)

A fun read for all ages,

This review is from: Gravenhunger (Paperback)
I'm a voracious reader. During my long life there haven't been many books that I've felt that I simply had to recommend. This is one of them.What a perfect children's/young adult's book this is. The text captured me and held me in its vice until the end. I felt a sense of completion at the end. Well done, Harriet Goodwin. The characters are fun. Phoenix and Rose are portrayed as real people. Not everything is sweet and warm between them, and that is as it should be between two people who don't really know each other. Throw in a mysterious house, strange weather, a mysterious past and an even more mysterious mound and you have our story. Enjoy.
