The Trespassers
By Logan W.
The Trespassers was not that good of a book and did not impress me. It
seemed like it was trying to be scary but wasn’t. Also, parts were added
to make it dramatic but the book had foolish endings. The conflict was too quickly
solved, not allowing the reader to understand how the disagreements and
tragedies started and developed, instead the Trespassers gave too much
information on what the surroundings were like.
The story starts when summer vacation starts and an older
sister has to help her eight-year-old brother [thus being Neely and Grub].
Neely is the only person in her family who can help Grub get through his
strange emotions. They usually go up the hill to a mansion known as Halcyon
House. Halcyon House’s previous inhabitants had bad luck running through their rich
blood, making some to believe the manor is haunted. Despite what others say,
the two sneak into the house and explore; that is until the owners, the
Hutchingson’s, return to the mansion. Neely and Grub and the family that live at
the home will have to get along before and accidents happen in this haunted
mansion.
The story is not scary and does not explain how the conflicts
are solved. It includes a very bad ending, by not explaining how things
happened. The book told me useless information about the past. To top it off,
the main conflict is in the last 18 pages [has no climax!]. This book is
unfitting to its genre and is not good. The book is for people over age 10 who
want short reads and no fantasy [if you still want to read this book].
