The Peculiar Peggs of Riddling Woods

This is the story of a sleepy town called Suds. A place where stories fill the air of children turning grey and disappearing without a trace... Poppy and Erasmus are certain there's something peculiar going on in Suds, and they're determined to unravel its secrets. But when they discover the answers might lie in the dark and twisting woods, can they find the courage to creep inside and solve this riddling mystery? 'A thrilling read...flavoured with fairytales, drizzled with a syrup of fear and sprinkled with heart.' M.G. Leonard

3.75 stars.
Update: After thinking about it more and more, I have to give this one a 4 stars! :)

This book is nothing like you have ever read. It’s so unique and it’s rich with imagination. It’s adventurous and enjoyable! Like I had so much fun reading it.
What I like:
- The whole imagination of this book. Like I don’t know if this is a retelling of a fairytale or not, but it’s great and magical.
- The characters are enjoyable! I adore Poppy, Erasmus and Misty. But POPPY! She loves AGATHA CHRISTIE... I mean....... yeah... 10 points right there! She knows what’s up!
- I adore the last part of the book most! Not gonna say anything more :)

I think the reason why I didn’t give it five stars are:
- It’s too detailed to my liking. There are some part that was really detail, and I didn’t really grasp it, so I lost my focus in the middle. BUT if you’re all about detail, I am so so so sure that you will enjoy this book a lot!
- I read this book hoping for being creeped out. While I think it was creepy, it’s not enough to creeped me out. BUT if you’re a scaredy cat and want something that creepy but not so creepy, this one is for you!
- I feel like there could be a little “punch” here and there to make it more “punching”.

But seriously, overall, I enjoyed this book! And I still recommended it to all of you who are in the mood of something creepy. The story is brilliant, really :)
