This is a fun "choose your own adventure" for the youngsters.
Comparables: The Haunted Mansion or Coraline.
This book instantly took me back to being in third grade, when I'd go down to the library during a book fair with my precious few dollars to buy choose your own adventure books. It's exciting to be more than a passive observer of literature, especially when you are a kid, and your imagination is in hyperdrive.
In The Mystery of Grimvalley Manor, we have a new kid (you, the reader) who goes exploring a reportedly haunted house nearby after being called out by a couple of twin girls. It turns out that the house actually is haunted, and it won't let you leave until you've broken the family curse. From there, you (the reader) get to decide where to look for clues and even what to look at. I'm not ashamed to admit that I even failed at one point and had to go back.
It was fun, nostalgic, creepy at times, and if I had a criticism, it would be that I wished it was longer. If you have a youngster who is just getting into reading on their own with books like Bunnicula, this would be a good way for them to spend an evening.
Bonus info for you elementary teachers, they do make gradable versions of choose your own adventure books now, if you're looking to make things more interactive in your classroom.

Fun story like from when I was a kid
It’s been a while since I’ve read a “choose your own adventure book,” and it was fun to read this with my son. When we first tried reading it (on the laptop), the links didn’t seem to sync right. I almost gave up but then realized that they work alright on the phone.
My son enjoyed reading a book in second person POV (not something he usually encounters), but I think it would have felt more natural in present tense instead of past. It’s a little awkward when you’re reading about things that happened in the past but then have to make a decision for the future. But overall, it’s a fun adventure for middle grade readers.

Creative Concept with Lots of Twists and turns
I liked the concept and twists of “The Mystery of Grimvalley Manor” by Elisa Tan. The writing flowed easily. I think this might be an exciting adventure for kids to make their own choices. I’m not sure about the setup, however. There were times where the choices didn’t make sense to me, with two different versions on the page. I was thankful that I made it to the end.
