Description: "Stratton masterfully constructs a creepy gothic setting, using italicized interior monologue to show Cameron's mind at odds with himself, and readers will soon suspect that Cameron may well be unhinged as they try to discern what is real and what is the product of Cameron's 'thinking like a lunatic.' A monstrous, stalking father, unhinging nightmares, a ghostly boy, wild dogs, and a moldy basement add creepy deliciousness to a murder mystery and tale of a boy who, in trying to solve a mystery, may just discover what a loving family might be. An engrossing blend of murder mystery and family story." - Kirkus, starred review
