review:
An entertaining urban horror novella that features a 12-year old heroine and some truly creepy people who live in the abandoned apartment above her.
It's a quick enough read, has some chills, as well as tearful moments. There is an alternate universe, a chance to meet new, strange friends, and the characters learn to find strength and courage.
I'm pretty sure the audience is young adult. I'd have a hard time recommending it to most of my younger friends because it is on the scarier side, but that doesn't mean it doesn't have an audience. It's quite reminiscent of the book 'Coraline,' but only in tone and creepiness.
