"A humorous hodgepodge of horror elements. . . . A Halloween howler."--Family Life "This book is a real winner--children won't be able to put it down!"--Boston Herald "Unquestionably weird, but nevertheless highly addictive."--School Library Journal, "A humorous hodgepodge of horror elements. . . . A Halloween howler."--Family Life "This book is a real winner--children won't be able to put it down!"--Boston Herald "Unquestionably weird, but nevertheless highly addictive."--School Library Journal --, This is a truly odd story. The word "madcap" hardly covers it. Owl's Roost, Nebraska is too small a town to have much to interest eleven-year-old Anthony Walker and his younger sister Sarah. But it does have a mansion with a haunted-house reputation. Morley Manor hasn't been occupied for 50 years, due to some unspeakable, mysterious event. The new owner of the manor has an estate sale where Anthony and Sarah find a small box containing five peculiar little figures¾including a humanoid with a lizard's head, a hunchback, and a woman with snakes for hair. The children buy the box and take it home. When one of the creatures accidentally gets splashed with water, he begins to move. Surprised but not terrified (yet) the kids bathe all five creatures. The other woman figure becomes a vampire and the other man a weredog, specifically, a were-cocker spaniel. Four of these five are siblings and have been put under a spell by aliens who abducted Lizard-head's twin brother. The aliens have an evil plan to take over the world, and it involves the world's dead. Now come the unbelievable coincidences. It's back to the manor in the middle of the night, where all five return to their real sizes. The children's grandfather has recently died, and they still miss him. When their parents go to a convention, their grandmother stays with them, and for reasons essential to the story, everyone ends up in the land of the dead. Does it seem providential that their grandfather, unable to let go of his life, is the only soul who cares enough to help them? Also, a character called Ivanova, an angel being punished, is trying to convince the dead to move on. Wait. It gets stranger. Anthony is able to communicatewith Ivanova, and his descriptions of the physical being, as well as his insights, are suddenly too sophisticated for an eleven-year-old boy. If you can last this long, you are fonder of the "not quite right" in children's stories than I am. For Coville's fans. 2001, Harcourt,Ages 8 to 12., "A humorous hodgepodge of horror elements. . . . A Halloween howler."-- Family Life "This book is a real winner--children won't be able to put it down!"-- Boston Herald "Unquestionably weird, but nevertheless highly addictive."-- School Library Journal
