Erklärungen
teresakayep: A good family saga with a lot of elements I appreciated, especially regarding the way the siblings related to each other. But the haint story didn't quite hand together, and the family was maybe a little too large. (On a different day, I could switch this was The Whites, but it's flaws are bothering me more today.)

Erklärungen
teresakayep: I gave up on this one. The young voice and limited perspective seemed realistic, and I appreciated what the author was trying to do. But there's a reason we don't generally read books by 10-year-olds.

Erklärungen
teresakayep: I don't have any major objections to this, but I also didn't see any reason to love it. Could tie with Teeth and Bats.
