Nora’s family
has been through an apartment fire. It was so scary, that her parents have kind
of kept Nora and her brother on lockdown –even homeschooling them. Nora misses
her friends so much! One day her parents let her go to the park and she meets a
new friend, a girl who lives in her building. Together they have an interesting
Halloween and Nora finds out some startling truths about her family.
I sort of
thought this book was depressing and then really cold at the end. I think this
is my personal least favorite in the series. I can imagine a parent coming to
me about this one. I love this series, but I think this one should be skipped
if you are in an elementary school. Public libraries could easily add this to
their collection, its well written enough that the grimness of it really sinks
in.
