I was a little creeped out with this book. It is a middle grade book, but the content is kind of scary. Maybe I don't read a lot of scary books so I don't have a good bar of comparison. Here are the parts that I truly enjoyed in the book: there was a good diversity (Korean heritage), parents are involved and nice (some family drama that was pretty realistic), and it was set in DC, so I totally felt right at home. Scary parts in my opinion: there were evil ghosts that were possessing little children, and I can't say that I've ever seen two middle schoolers become such best friends in 5 seconds flat. But I'm interested in reading Ellen Oh's other books, and it has nothing to do with the fact that I'm going to have her at my school in a couple of months. I'm a huge fan of hers for being a founder of We Need Diverse Books. And she makes my son laugh.
