I received a free copy of this book in exchange for a fair and honest review. All opinions are my own.
Two young fairies must work together to save a local haunted house from being torn down in author Zane Carson Carruth’s “Abella and the Haunted House.”
The Synopsis
Abella and Darcie befriend a haunted house and the ghost that lives there. Thanks to Abella’s quick thinking and determined nature, they save the big, haunted house from being torn down. And in the process, make new friends in the weirdest places! Never underestimate the can-do spirit of these two little fairies.
The Review
What a fun and magical read! The author does a wonderful job of capturing the wonder and heart of a magical realm filled with fairy tales while also bringing a unique twist to the haunted house story for children. The warmth of the imagery and the bright splashes of color are a great juxtaposition to the idea of a classic haunted house story, typically underscored by dark undertones.
The idea of a haunted house and its ghosts was uniquely presented here. The house is haunted and alive while also housing its ghosts and creatures, but presented in a non-scary way, allowing the reader to dispel any fear other stories bring to this type of haunting. The narrative of preserving and saving such a house enables young readers to see the importance of maintaining and respecting the past and the memories that bring houses like this to life.
The Verdict
Memorable, fun, and engaging author Zane Carson Carruth’s “Abella and the Haunted House” is a must-read children’s book. The story’s twists and turns and the critical theme of preserving the past and honoring the homes that families built will stay with both parents and children alike. If you haven’t yet, be sure to grab your copy today!
Rating: 10/10
