ReviewsKIRKUS -- A brother and sister learn their idyllicnew neighborhood holds some nightmarish secrets. At first glance, Carter andPolly's new home-the eerily named Alabaster Shadows subdivision-is anotherblandly charming suburb with rows of identical houses. However, as soon as theyarrive, the siblings immediately sense that something isn't quite right. Thetown is governed by a community council led by a stony-faced, bespectacled womannamed Miss Crowe, who obviously disdains all children. At school, things aren'tmuch better; their teacher, Ms. Frump, shares Miss Crowe's menacing sentiments.Things soon go from bad to sinister: the kids discover a mysterious portalthat's leaking liquid in their basement, stumble upon a bizarre dream world onlyaccessible while sleeping, befriend other kids terrorized by monsters undertheir beds, and learn that adults who ask too many questions are becomingzombified. The children quickly band together and fight the influx of monstersthat have seemingly overrun their town. Gardner and Doucet's crafty taleprovides a blend of hearty exposition, intriguing worldbuilding, andlightning-fast action; in a nice touch, Carter and Polly are biracial-their momis dark-skinned, and their dad is Caucasian. Bright, cartoon-style illustrationspropel readers through this offering and will leave them wishing it were aseries opener. Fans of Goosebumps will definitely appreciate the similarlyatmospheric feel. Creepily imagined and entertaining. (Graphic horror.7-12)
