The Devouring Sorry Night by Simon Holt.

A scary, cheesy, engaging mystery/horror story about fictional monsters. The tone was nervous, anxious, uncomfortable, and I was never positive of what would happen next. This is for people who like scary stories, and enjoy begin frightened.

The Willoughbys by Lois Lowry.

I liked the neighbor, I disliked the parents and the message. Strange, foreign, fairy tale-ish adventure about strange families and classic stories. The tone is calm yet uncaring, the characters sort of go with the flow. Hard to read in parts, the characters acted strangely toward each other

The Looking Glass Wars by Frank Beddor.

If a reader was crazy about Alice in Wonderland, I think they would really like this book because I know that I did. It's become on of my favorites! Also, I don't think that it's necessary to read Alice in Wonderland first, it just might be nice to be familiar with the story though.
