Middle Grade Madness! discussion

October is here so let’s read this popular spooky read!
I’ve seen a lot of the sequels to this book around so I’m interested in seeing how the first book in the series is.

I got this on audio and will start it on my commutes to work next week!

I'm excited on this one:D

I didn't know this author wrote . I thought that book was pretty good!

@Kelly I’ve heard of that book and I had no idea she wrote that one too either! That’s quite a variation in genres that she writes.

@Patricia I’m glad to hear it! Horror actually isn’t a genre I usually bother to read or even enjoy but I’m intrigued by this one because it’s well-known so I’d like to give it a try. Just need to get myself a copy and I’m planning to start it after I finish my current read so probably like next week or something.

I've read small spaces!! it's really good

Yay! This book has been on my tbr for a few years now & it’s finally time to pick it up! 😂🤍

I read this 2 months ago for the August Middle-Grade Challenge, and although it wasn't the creepiest ever (it's middle-grade so it makes sense) it was very creepy at times, with scarecrows and the characters.

But I really like it and I'm looking forward to everyone's opinions.

I'm still in chapter 3 but I found the book interesting:)

I finished this in one night!! I couldn’t put it down!
Even for a MG book I found it creepy. I came to the climax around 2am. I’m in my locked, alarmed, presumably safe house, husband sleeping upstairs, pitbull in my lap, boa constrictor in tank behind me. I shouldn’t have a lack of security, you’d think. And yet I still got the shivers a couple times and definitely was a touch nervous to get up and go to bed (as it meant moving from couch).
Absolutely loved it!!
Hope others are enjoying!

I've been listening to it on my work commutes and the other day listened on the way home from a soccer game at night, with my daughter in the front seat. We had a few moments of looking at each other with terror in our eyes! ;-)

I'm really enjoying this one.

I finished this yesterday and I liked the ending! I (view spoiler)[ feel like the deal Seth attempted to make with Ollie should have been more obvious to me, but I didn't see it coming. This part of the story was a little rushed to me, but I really liked the final chapter that showed the blossoming friendship between Ollie, Coco, and Brian. (hide spoiler)]

The entire feel of the book was appropriately creepy for this age group, perfect for my 11-year-old daughter.

I've already finished this one and I loved it:D
