Review

Luke gets to spend a summer at mansion his dad inherited. Problems... well the place has a curse that traps people inside the place...for ever. Will he be able to save the family? This is a good read for aloud, or for a beginning reader. Chapters have colorful watercolors and are well written. I really like that there is a glossy at the back of the book with the words to look up in bold print within the story. There is also a "what do you think/" question page at the back. Which can help with comprehension skills. Amazon list's this as a paper back at 16.99, but this book is a hard cover.

Overall Book Score: good
