Reviewed by Eileen Dierner i cant believe this series is for children! i liked the writing and i liked the three children but what i didnt like was the things that happened. it's so sad to see such many really really bad things happen to children and to see adults who dont believe children even though they see things as they are. im definitley not going to read the second book, but i will watch the netflix series
