The Shadows

Olive can climb into the paintings in the old, creepy house her parents just bought and moved her into. What a fun concept!

I love Olive as a a character. She’s curious and creative and brave and capable and so so smart. She made this book something I would definitely recommend to kids grade 3-ish and up.

Pacing was a little slow with a rush at the end. Still. Great middle grade novel and maybe I’ll even read the second. ( )

This book was such a delightful middle grade read! I picked it up because the plot intrigued me and I must say that I was not disappointed in the slightest. It has a very unique, interesting concept that instantly draws the reader in! I really enjoyed the writing style and plan to pick up the other books in the series soon! ( )
