Brightwood: Special Preview - The First 5 Chapters | Tania Unsworth
3 posts | 4 read | 14 to read
SPECIAL PREVIEW! Daisy Fitzjohn knows there are two worlds: the outside world and the world of Brightwood Hall, her home--and the only place shes ever been. Daisy and her mother have everything they need within its magnificent, half-ruined walls. They may not have a computer or phone, but Daisy has all the friends she could want, including a mischievous talking rat named Tar and the ghostly presence of a long-ago explorer who calls herself Frank. When Daisys mother leaves one morning, a strange visitor arrives on the estate, claiming to be a distant cousin, James Gritting. But as the days tick by and Daisys mother doesnt return, Gritting becomes more and more menacing. He wants Brightwood for himself, and he will do anything to get it, unless Daisy, with only her imaginary companions to help her, can stop him. Tania Unsworth takes readers on a twisting, heart-pounding journey through dark corridors and wild, untamed gardens in this novel perfect for fans of Doll Bones and Coraline.

A good book that I found myself wrapped up in. Daisy is left alone in her huge family's mansion after her mother disappears on day. Then comes a stranger shows up one day. Will Daisy survive and find her mom?
Good book for upper elementary and middle school students. Nothing really scary in this book but it did get me hooked.

Both magical and terrifying, this book is what I would classify as a childs psychological thriller. It is also a soft introduction to mental illness with a really brilliant way to show the character evolution of a girl who goes through this story alone. I loved this read and couldn't put it down!
