A visit to Grandmother’s house has never been so frightening. . . .
Charlie and Georgie Oughtt have been sent to visit their Grandmother Pearl, and this troubles Charlie
for three reasons. The first is that he’s an exceptionally nervous twelve-year-old boy, and he worries
about everything. The second is that the other children in his neighborhood who pay visits to their
grandmothers never seem to return. And the third is that Charlie and Georgie don’t have any
grandmothers.
Upon their arrival, all of Charlie’s concerns are confirmed, as “Grandmother Pearl” quickly reveals
herself to be something much more gruesome than even Charlie’s most outlandish fears could have
predicted. He and Georgie are thrust into a creepy underworld created from stolen nightmares, where
monsters disguised as grandmothers serve an ancient, evil queen by holding children captive as they
slowly sap each one of their memories and dreams.
But something is different about Charlie. His worrisome nature, so often a burden, proves an asset in
this frightening world. Will he be able to harness this newfound power to defeat the queen and save his
sister?
Editorial Reviews
From School Library Journal
Gr 3–6—Twelve-year-old Charlie is a worrier. Nearly everything makes him nervous. He is the complete
opposite of his younger sister, Georgie, who is brave and curious. As children in their town begin to
disappear permanently while on supposed trips to visit their grandmothers, Charlie and Georgie know that
they will be next. When one day their mother, who does not seem herself, suddenly sends them off to meet
their grandmothers, both of whom they've been previously told had passed away, this chilling tale truly
takes off. It's clear that the grandmothers are not what they seem, but if they're not really
grandmothers, then what are they? This is a story filled with creepy hallways, devilish trees, ghostly
prisoners, and other sinister haunts. It's also a heartwarming adventure about overcoming one's fears
and the unbreakable bond between siblings. Fans of Neil Gaiman's Coraline (HarperCollins, 2002) and
Jonathan Auxier's The Night Gardener (Abrams, 2014) will enjoy this middle grade fantasy/horror story.
VERDICT Strongly recommended for collections were middle grade horror is in demand.—Pilar Okeson,
Allen-Stevenson, New York City
