It was creepy and unnatural environment in Venessa's house and the most frightening thing was when Venessa gift a creepy looking doll to Anna.
Well the game just started from there at the very spot and who was Beryl actually? The name that mentioned by their granma but Josie's mom told them it's all bogus story.
But there's more to that story not believe it's fake. Terrible truth is waiting for them to reveal and Josie's sister in danger too. So, what should Josie do to keep Anna ok or alive?
Full Sep 23, Autumn rated it really liked it Shelves: I saw this book at my kid's book fair and the cover just called to me. This is a good book for the middle grader maybe from 5th on up. The plot wasn't very long and it was straight to the point. Josie and her sister have to move in and help their mom out with their grandma. Though it seems their grandmother is sick and swears that something is out in the woods.
There are rules to follow and you better follow them for Beryl will get you. Also, what do dolls have to do with this story? You gotta r I saw this book at my kid's book fair and the cover just called to me.
You gotta read it to find out. Josie, of course, wants to go back home that is until she makes a friend named Vanessa. Vanessa, it seems though seems very mysterious and it isn't until towards the end we find out why she is the way she is.
It will take a simple task to the break the curse that is within the woods and at the house of Beryl. I will say I was curious on the writing that was left on Josie's locker but I do have a feeling that it might be from a certain character that couldn't speak out in fear of Beryl.
When you read the book you will understand. I am not sure if my son would like the book because it has to do with dolls but I may try it out on him. It isn't scary but it does have a creepy factor to it. View 2 comments. Nov 13, Kim Friant rated it really liked it. I was seriously creeped out during the whole thing! And I was very impressed with the unique story, I felt like I was reading something new. Beryl is a terrifying villain!
I could totally see her in my head and she scared me. I did feel like some loose ends were left and that keeps me from giving it 5 stars. Then again, any future children of mine will be weird enough to start out with scary books so what do I know! I think this is a great read for anyone who likes creepy stories! Oct 26, Robbie Myles rated it really liked it. Young Josie moves away from her hometown of Chicago and into the home of her Grandma Jeannie with mom and sister, Anna.
What they thought would be a quaint place to start fresh turns into their own personal nightmare. One full of evil dolls, and an ancient spirit living deep in the woods that is trying to claw her way back to the surface of life and regain the power she once had. This book was such a pleasant surprise and had scenes that seriously creeped me to my core.
I'll always have a soft s Young Josie moves away from her hometown of Chicago and into the home of her Grandma Jeannie with mom and sister, Anna. I'll always have a soft spot for doll horror, and K. Alexander did a phenomenal job of not only creeping me out, but creating the scares for a middle grade audience! Strong recommend and 4 stars from me! Jun 05, Landa rated it liked it. I liked the plot, it was unique, ish.
But when I reached the end it was obviously quite rushed by the author to finish it. It was getting cheesier and cheesier. I finally finished it, but the author could have done a much better ending Sep 17, Dawn Meyer rated it really liked it.
This book, although aimed for younger readers, kept me intrigued. Even though I did see some things coming, I was still invested to see what was going to be done. Very satisfying. Nov 17, Jayden rated it it was amazing. It was creepy but i liked it. This was a very quick read, with some of the chapters being only 1 page long which made it easy to get hooked. The story is simple just follow the rules and you will be fine, you know the 3 simple rules. Simple right?! Welllllllllll, where would the story if not one or more of these rules were broken!
Nowhere that is where! Josie and Anna are being made to move from Chicago right into the sticks of nowh This was a very quick read, with some of the chapters being only 1 page long which made it easy to get hooked. Josie and Anna are being made to move from Chicago right into the sticks of nowhere. When Vanessa comes along it is like sunshine for Josie, she can have a real friend here, even though something feels slightly off with the most popular girl in the school.
However, when she goes home at night, she can hear something in the woods! But what is that! Anna and she has a DOLL!! I mean what will go wrong? When we are first introduced to the dolls and they are all facing the walls, that did unsettle me. Not sure what is worse having the dolls look at me or not!
Plenty of nightmares to keep Josie up at night, and for some reason, they all lead her to one place. The discovery of the dolls was a nice little twist, but thinking back to one scene where a doll is thrown out the window…. That detail may have made this story a whole lot scarier but I appreciate I am not the age bracket, by over a good 20 years, that they are aiming for.
There is another book in the series which picks up 5 years later, and with the ending we were left with, I will read it because I want to know what is going to happen next! This was a surprisingly creepy book, for being middle grade level.
The imagery surrounding the dolls, particularly in the dream sequences, did NOT hold back. One scene even acted as a bit of jump scare, if you can believe that for a written story.
The characters and relationships, for being a short book, were rather solid, and I felt like the kids behaved realistically despite this being one of those "enigmatic rules get broken" horror stories. The rules are basically as follows: Don't go into th This was a surprisingly creepy book, for being middle grade level. The rules are basically as follows: Don't go into the creepy house behind grandma's house, Don't bring in any dolls, and Don't open windows at night. These are all the kind of rules that you would think would be very easy to follow, but--because it's a horror story--all of them must get broken.
Considering how the main character is a young tween girl who just moved into town, her primary motivation for breaking them is the fear of embarrassment and the desire to make a new friend, which is sadly realistic despite how bizarre the situation she finds herself in is. The only thing I didn't like about this book was the ending.
No spoilers, but it felt oddly rushed and anti-climactic. It's still a good read, but it was a little disappointing. Add a review and share your thoughts with other readers. Tags Add tags for "The collector : once she has you, she will never let you go.
