Oh well, at least I have something to look forward to. :) So glad you enjoyed it.<br /><br />Wendy @ <a href="http://backinthemidnightgarden.blogspot.com/2012/02/review-wonder.html" rel="nofollow">The Midnight Garden</a>Wendy Darlinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13471461156849725177noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11403564.post-73731021342661502212012-02-21T17:44:40.702-05:002012-02-21T17:44:40.702-05:00Illustrated book!?

The fact that you gave it 5 stars is convincing enough, but I LOVE that it's about ghosts and has gorgeous illustrations in it too! Plus, thanks so much for letting me know that it's not a pure horror-for-nightmares kind of book -- as someone who gets scared easily, that's really nice to know! ;) <br /><br />Amazing review, Z! <3 I really need to pick up this book soon! :)Mimi Valentinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04241457025232914551noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11403564.post-1201483660311226312012-02-21T16:01:22.055-05:002012-02-21T16:01:22.055-05:00This sounds like such a cool story, I love when a ...This sounds like such a cool story, I love when a book leaves me surprised at how everything pieced together. I love too that there are illustrations included, it adds a whole other unique layer and I can't wait to flip through this one myself.

I mean, I keep hearing how she is a genius. It feels like too long since I've read a book that features gorgeous illustrations. That, pair with the fact that this one seems to have an unexpected mystery that is engaging makes me want to pick it up. Thanks for the review, Z. I hadn't yet heard of this book before. I'm glad to know about it now.Missie, The Unread Readerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10548256640926555361noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11403564.post-69336096406111784142012-02-21T09:54:30.092-05:002012-02-21T09:54:30.092-05:00I've not read anything by Griffin before, but ...I've not read anything by Griffin before, but after hearing your and Small's praises her her books I better check them out.
