This book is a great scary mystery written for middle grades! I loved the friendships between the main characters as they worked together to solve the wild events happening in Eastport。

I bought this for my classroom, and I’m glad I sat down to read it first。 It is a solid ghost story filled with chills and thrills。 It is geared toward young readers, 8-12, and I can see it being read as part of spooky season family book club。 Some imagery may be intense for younger, more sensitive readers, but I would have definitely enjoyed this as a kid。

I love that Mallory develops a fantastic group of friends that are willing to hear what she has to say about her nightmares and her thoughts and that together the group of them try to solve the mystery presented by Sweet Molly。 I can see why Mallory does not enjoy moving to this slightly strange town that is determined to celebrate every curse and ghoul that has ever plagued Eastport。 I would love living in this town, as Halloween is by far my favorite holiday and I would have my decorations up I love that Mallory develops a fantastic group of friends that are willing to hear what she has to say about her nightmares and her thoughts and that together the group of them try to solve the mystery presented by Sweet Molly。 I can see why Mallory does not enjoy moving to this slightly strange town that is determined to celebrate every curse and ghoul that has ever plagued Eastport。 I would love living in this town, as Halloween is by far my favorite holiday and I would have my decorations up as soon as possible。 Looking forward to reading more books from Lindsay Currie。 。。。more

No thank you。 But when Mary, the legendary ghost that the town devotes an entire parade to every month, starts interrupting her life and causing her to do weird things she doesn't remember, she can no longer ignore her。 Along with her friends, both old and new, Mallory must figure out what Mary wants before she makes the whole town pay。If you or any of the children in your life like October, old legends, ghost stories, or tales of revenge, this is a great book to pick up。 This is the second year I have enjoyed a Lindsay Currie book during autumn and I think it will be a tradition that I continue。Thank you to Netgalley, Sourcebooks Kids, and Lindsay Currie for providing me with an e-ARC in exchange for an honest review。 。。。more

It’s not the worst book I’ve ever read, but it isn’t the best。 There were some typos at the end which really kinda bugged me? Not the books fault。 Seemed a little slow and repetitive in some spots, but overall was a good little read。 Just not what I expected, I guess!

3。5 starsSince Mallory moved to Eastport, a town obsessed with Halloween and spooky local tales, she's been frustrated by the town's most-haunted-place-ever tourist trap。 She doesn't believe in ghosts and curses。 However, she discovers there may be truth to one of the tales when she is haunted by the girl in white, Sweet Molly。 She sets out with her friends to discover how to break the curse。This was a nice book and I think it will be popular for the intended target audience。 I liked the mystery 3。5 starsSince Mallory moved to Eastport, a town obsessed with Halloween and spooky local tales, she's been frustrated by the town's most-haunted-place-ever tourist trap。 She doesn't believe in ghosts and curses。 However, she discovers there may be truth to one of the tales when she is haunted by the girl in white, Sweet Molly。 She sets out with her friends to discover how to break the curse。This was a nice book and I think it will be popular for the intended target audience。 I liked the mystery surrounding it and it was a perfect book for autumn。 As someone who loves Halloween though, I found it annoying that Mallory hated the festivities and the spookiness of Eastport。 I thought it seemed a pretty cool place to live! Some parts were a bit tedious and repetitive but overall this was the perfect book to get in the autumnal/Halloween spirit。 。。。more

Middle grade readers looking for a creepy ghost story in a realistic setting will be thrilled with Lindsay Currie’s latest book。 The usual horror tropes are included: a tormented ghost looking for revenge on those who wronged her, tormented humans who must set the record straight, storms, a trance or two, and even some frozen in time moments。 But Currie’s town of Eastport, main characters Mallory, Emmie, and Joshua plus outstanding descriptive passages give this a fresh feel and won’t disappoint Middle grade readers looking for a creepy ghost story in a realistic setting will be thrilled with Lindsay Currie’s latest book。 The usual horror tropes are included: a tormented ghost looking for revenge on those who wronged her, tormented humans who must set the record straight, storms, a trance or two, and even some frozen in time moments。 But Currie’s town of Eastport, main characters Mallory, Emmie, and Joshua plus outstanding descriptive passages give this a fresh feel and won’t disappoint most readers in grades 4-8。 Text is free of sexual content and profanity and physical violence is sparse。 Tension, however, stays high from beginning until the satisfying conclusion。 A “first-choice” selection for libraries。Thanks for the digital arc, Edelweiss Above the Treeline。 。。。more

Thank you so much to NetGalley for letting me read this book! This was an amazing book。 This book was described to me as Gilmore Girls meets Halloweentown。 I can totally see that。 I would have loved a little more Halloweentown and little less Gilmore Girls。 This book was packed with adventure, mystery, and suspense but not too suspenseful。 It was much fun to read。 I really loved the autumnal feel this book had too。

It hooked me right from the first chapter and I was invested the whole way through。I loved the characters。 Our main character Mallory lives is Eastport, MA which is known for it's spooky legends and tourism (think Salem)。 Mallory is so over it。 She didn't grow up in Eastport but recently moved with her parents and I loved her skepticism。 At the same time I also loved her parent's enthusiasm about the legends。 They own a restaurant that shares a wall with a graveyard where supposedly one day a coffin burst through the restaurant wall。 Her parents milk that for all it's worth。 I really loved that Mallory's parents were present and supportive of her。 I also loved Mallory's friends Emmie and Bri。 They were also incredibly supportive and just such loving friends。 They were really willing to risk everything for Mallory。Like I said, this book takes place in a town where spooky is everything。 Legends create tourism create money for the town。 Mallory starts dreaming about one of the most well known legends, Sweet Molly。 Then Mallory starts sleepwalking and actually seeing Sweet Molly。 Sweet Molly is out to get her! Then her next door neighbor Joshua reveals that Molly has been in his dreams too。 Along with Emmie and Bri, Mallory and Joshua need to find out what Molly wants and how they can do it for her。This is a middle grade book, so while it is spooky, it is not scary enough to drive away all younger readers。 It really walks the line between spooky and scary very well and has enough other stuff going on between the scarier scenes to give you a break。 As we go in to spooky season, I will definitely be recommending this book to everyione! 。。。more

Are you kidding me? Autumn lovers, if you’re looking for the perfect autumn read to get into a fall mood, you’ve found it。 I have an obsession with cozy east coast towns that remind me of Salem, where it just feels like eternal autumn。 Creepy parades each month featuring a piano with keys actually made of bones, spooky themed hotels using spooky history to draw in tourists, and restaurants offering “chill up your spine chili” and “boneyard biscuits” are just a few of things that this quaint, historical town has to offer。 Even the local coffee shop is called Cups and Cauldrons。 This is a town that knows how to capitalize on spooks and Halloween to draw in tourists and if this town were real, I would fall for it hook line and sinker。 Jack o lanterns all year round? A halloween lover’s paradise honestly。 Since sadly autumn (aka the best season) also feels like the shortest season of the year, I rely on books like these to get fall vibes whenever I want them。 This book is the epitome of a cozy fall read。 It made me want to get out my flannels and drink a pumpkin spice latte despite the fact that we are still enduring torturous summer weather。 Since I can’t have the frigid weather I want, I have to read about a town where the weather is bone chilling by early October。 “Today is October first。 It barged in on a gust of chilly air with red and orange leaves on its heels。 Morning fog settled over our narrow streets like a cold, wet blanket, and everyone—and I mean everyone—is already wearing their chunkiest sweaters。 For most people I know, October isn’t just the end of T-shirts and flip-flops; it’s the beginning of the best month of the year。 Halloween month。 The time when Eastport comes to life。” Middle grade horror is GREAT and that is a hill that I will die on。 In the same way that “kids” movies like Coraline or Monster House are geared towards children yet still deliciously creepy and entertaining even for adults, middle grade horror is the same way。 Don’t think it can’t be creepy just because it is targeted towards a younger audience! Also, it never bogs down its horror with pointless and non scary horror motifs like excessive gore or jump scares。 Which granted, is mostly in movies rather than horror novels, but it’s still annoying。 This book had a quirky innocence to it but still had a deliciously creepy feel with high stakes。 The perfect Halloween read!

Lindsay Currie is one of those authors you just love to read in autumn or during spooky season。 Her books are atmospheric, creepy, and will keep you on the edge of your seat。 This particular one only had one draw back。 I realized what was going on/how to resolve it pretty earlier on, whereas with Scritch Scratch it kept me guessing almost to the end。 That doesn’t take away from the beautiful writing and the moral of the story, which I think is an essential one。 Lindsay Currie Absolutely amazing!
