Review Detail

Reader reviewed by Amanda

Thomas moves into a very large and mysterious house with his family, his mom, dad, and twin brothers. As soon as they arrive, strange things begin to happen. Just as they are first into the home, someone has unpacked their things for them. Also, the positioning of all their furniture is odd, especially in Thomas’s room. It is the weirdest of all. Then, the citizens of town don’t like them much and are quite crazy. After many mishaps, you’ll know something is up in the house of an abolitionist, Dies Drear.


The House of Dies Drear is very hooking thriller that you’ll love. It has won the Edgar Award, ALA Notable Children’s Book, gotten great reviews, I really liked the ending, my favorite part. I thought it was twisting, gripping, and wild I recommend it for ages 10 and up along with 3 stars for thrills and chills.
