Settings

Real World Connections

The Aunts House, Graylock hall,Playground,Dreams,Library, and Doctor office

I think this book definitely has a connection to the world because there is a lot of curious people who do stupid things like this because of the curiosity, which is a dangerous thing.

Information about the author: He has traveled to new jersey to play the role of Ichabod Crane in a tour of "the legend of the sleepy hollow". He has also done research at the Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center. He has written many different books like "the stone child", "The NIghtmarys", and "the mysterious four series".

Theme/Main Idea

Recommendations

I think the main idea to the story is don't be nosy... or else you will end up with trouble. For example: After the gang solved the ghostly mystery Neil ended up almost dying 3 times.

The weak points are very few but, romance, in some parts detail and comedy. The strong points would be Horror, suspense, action,and drama. I suggest teens to adults because there is so much suspense and scary moments that make your heart uncontrollably drop and come back up. Yes i would recommend this book because I LOVE thrillers and the feeling suspense. Also i read the comments on the back and was curious!
