linyarai 's review for:

The Mulberry Tree by Allison Rushby
5.0

I received this book from LibraryThing in exchange for a review here and on my blog Samwise Reviews. I was hooked from that tag line. I don't like super scary and this was only moderate creepy, so it was perfect. I think it would be a good read for any age without getting nightmares. I enjoyed the characters and Immy's tension with her parents felt very real. I liked her perspective of the dad's depression and guilt, and the stress of making friends in a new town. The ending threw me a little bit, it felt too cleanly wrapped up for what had happened, but overall I still really enjoyed the journey.
