YA Buddy Readers' Corner ♥ discussion

We're waiting for you to come and play. Dunvegan School for Girls has been closed for many years. Converted into a family home, the teachers and students are long gone. But they left something behind...Sophie arrives at the old schoolhouse to spend the summer with her cousins. Brooding Cameron with his scarred hand, strange Lilias with a fear of bones and Piper, who seems just a bit too good to be true. And then there's her other cousin. The girl with a room full of antique dolls. The girl that shouldn't be there. The girl that died.

Everyone welcome to join.

Might join...

Okay ☺

I am sooo behind all my Feb reads those so I don't know. :) *fingers crossed*

I'm feeling behind as well. Don't seem have gotten much done this month!

I got it free on Amazon a month or so ago.

Sarah wrote: "Chapter 4 [spoilers removed]"

(view spoiler)[ Lovely little girl. Not. (hide spoiler)]

I'm not liking this one as much as the other red eye one we read.

hmm. it seems to be going quite quickly at least. I thought it was alright at the start, but i'm not so impressed now.

chapter 7 (view spoiler)[ ah so she knows that the girls were plastered into the walls for a reason. hmm poking out people's eyes while they sleep. lovely. (hide spoiler)]

Have not started yet. I didn't have my computer for the last few days.

Not having a computer is so annoying!

Sarah wrote: "Not having a computer is so annoying!"

I have my main computer, but it's brand new so I haven't updated anything. My school computer has the book on it, and we had a snow day.

Start: (view spoiler)[ Okay, I guess. They could develop it more probably (hide spoiler)]

Middle: (view spoiler)[ Why kill off the best friend then all the cousins are creepy? No one to relate too! (hide spoiler)]

End (view spoiler)[ Really didn't get this bit. Can anyone clarify waht's going on? (hide spoiler)]

(view spoiler)[ i think the ending was supposed to show that someone else found the dolls and it was all going to start all over again? is that the bit you mean? (hide spoiler)]

Sarah wrote: "chapter 2 [spoilers removed]"

(view spoiler)[I don't understand the appeal of things like that at all. It was obvious he wasn't going to make it, and like you said. How would they have known to "stop" it from doing those things? (hide spoiler)]

^^Sorry for starting so late BTW.

chapter three - (view spoiler)[Well, looks like this trips going to be an interesting one! (hide spoiler)]

chapter four - (view spoiler)[She threw her cat in the fire!? (hide spoiler)]

chapter five - (view spoiler)[Dolls are always made to be creepy in these sorts of books - and I can see why! *shudder* Why would anyone model them after a dead girl? (hide spoiler)]

chapter eight - (view spoiler)[This family is so derange! (hide spoiler)]

chapter eleven - (view spoiler)[Poor Cameron! I would die if anyone touched my piano. (hide spoiler)]

chapter sixteen - (view spoiler)[Shit these dolls are pure evil! And good God, who could stab a person's eyeballs out? And what's with Piper's bitchiness? (hide spoiler)]

chapter 21 - (view spoiler)[Goodness! Piper is the craziest character I've ever read about. (hide spoiler)]

chapter 22 - (view spoiler)[Does anything good happen to these peeps!? (hide spoiler)]

six months later - (view spoiler)[This Dad isn't very responsible. (hide spoiler)]

epilogue - (view spoiler)[That's it!? All is fine and dandy so easily? That's disappointing.... (hide spoiler)]

Sarah wrote: "chapter 11 [spoilers removed]

Sarah wrote: "chapter 8 [spoilers removed]"

(view spoiler)[Wasn't that in her lemonade!? As an ice cube? Creepy either way... (hide spoiler)]

I think someone said about them freezing them and using them at ice cubes, but i think that one was in the cake ☺ Horrible either way!
