A sweet and surprisingly alarmingly scary middle-grade horror. This is a genre that didn't exist when I was a kiddo, so in fifth grade I skipped straight from Beverly Cleary to Stephen King and Edgar Allan Poe. This novel has narrative interspersed with poetry and shares several features with Gaiman's Coraline. It's probably around the scariness of Poe.
