And
now, my review:
What
my family had to say about the book 12 Days at Bleakly Manor by Michelle Griep
as we enjoyed this as a family read aloud. It was
intriguing, mysterious, and scary in parts. It was superfluously majestic and makes you
want to read on. It was also surprising,
captivating, and very well written. I really liked that it brought out an element of forgiveness in a
freeing way. This book has all these things
and more to it!! If you’re looking for a
great Christmas read, you’ll want to remember to check this one out.
I
received a copy of this book in exchange for my honest review.
