The Cavendish Home for Boys and Girls by Claire LegrandMy rating: 2 of 5 stars
A quick read. Dark, creepy atmosphere and topics that address some of kids' deepest fears. BUT, at the end, I am still thinking that this was overall Stephen King's It -lite. :/ That being said, it wasn't bad, though I never really got into it. I think in it's place, I'd recommend Neil Gaiman's Coraline as similar & much better (doesn't seem like so much of a knock-off). Also, it's for older readers (9? 10?).
