Took

The Bookworm says... Maybe. Took by Mary Downing Hahn was good!!! The Anderson's move from Fairfield, Connecticut to rural West Virginia leaves the whole family a little disoriented, especially Daniel and Erica. The kids at school are tormenting them with ghost stories surrounding their new house, and Erica is terrified. When she disappears, it's hard to deny that something supernatural is occurring, but the police won't have it. It's up to Daniel to get her back before it's too late. 

Not horribly scary, Took was enjoyable. It was a clever story but it wasn't very substantial. It was scary enough to keep you interested, but not enough to keep you up at night. It would be perfect for young readers that have a sweet spot for the supernatural. 

"We made us our own tale didn't we- a tale like the tellers told back and back and back to the first tellers sitting around their fires, keeping the dark away with their words."
