The Gathering: Shadow House by Dan Poblocki

The Gathering (Shadow House, #1)

From Goodreads.com : You don't just read this ghost story. You step into it. Some houses are more than just haunted... they're hungry.

Dash, Dylan, Poppy, Marcus, and Azumi don't know this at first. They each think they've been summoned to Shadow House for innocent reasons. But there's nothing innocent about Shadow House.

Something within its walls is wickedly wrong.  Nothing -- and nobody -- can be trusted. Hallways move. Doors vanish. Ghosts appear. Children disappear.

And the way out?

That's disappeared, too...

Enter Shadow House... if you dare.

My Take:  I liked this book.  It is geared for middle grade and I don't think it is that scary to bother most middle graders.  There are ghosts so be aware .  Five kids each receive an invitation to come to Larkspur house.  Each invitation is different as to appeal to each kids interests.  Once they arrive they find that the invitations were not truthful and they find various obstacles to leaving.  They are some thrilling moments.  

I received a review copy of this book from the Amazon vine program in exchange for my honest review.
