Review: Lacey is selfish and doesn’t leave space in her life for her friends and family, she thinks of herself and only herself. Then she starts seeing another version of herself haunting her and doing things she hasn’t done, everyone in her life likes this new other Lacey with glowing red eyes.
This was eerie and I loved how the other Lacey turned out (will not spoil it), but it was so creative and creepy. It was great seeing Lacey’s character progression from her rude and selfish attitude to learning her ways and caring again for those in her life.
If you are looking for a light horror for a young reader they would love this, it’s not too scary but had scary parts and is eerie throughout. The characters are written really well with really great illustrations. It’s easy to read and progresses nicely through the story.
I really enjoyed this book and I love there are others in the series to read too, it also gives you some extra facts and projects you can think about, perfect for a teacher to use in a class setting.
