"Waiting on Wednesday" is a weekly meme hosted by Jill at Breaking the Spine. It lets us all gush about what soon-to-be released books we are jumping-up-and-down excited for.
by Jonathan Stroud
hitting shelves September 17, 2013 from Disney-Hyperion
(August 29th from Random House UK)
description:
Hauntings are our business . . .
Ghosts crowd the streets and houses of London. Anthony Lockwood, with his slightly grumpy deputy George, and his junior field operative Lucy, make up LOCKWOOD & CO, the small, shabby yet talented ghost-hunting agency.
After a series of calamitous investigations into the supernatural go awry, the team are desperate to prove themselves. Their opportunity comes in the form of a terrifying ghost, the Red Duke. But little do they know what perils lie in store for them at the haunted Bliss Hall . . .
My thoughts: Until recently I overlooked this one, because there's not alot of middle grade that catches my eye right off the bat. However, after seeing the absolutely spine-tingling trailer, I'm super excited to read this. Personally, going by the trailer, I think this actually looks a little creepy for the MG audience, but perfect for meeeee! :D

ReplyDeleteI just finished it. There are parts of it that are creepy, but I would not say it's too much for a MG audience. That said, I LOVED IT. And I cannot wait for you to read it. It was SO GOOD.
