I quite enjoyed this book! It was more of a quick and adventurous read. This story gave a mysterious, but had a bit humor into it....It starts off with Tobias and Charlotte Eggers with their nanny, Martha... but Martha treats the kids horribly, and tells this "news" to their father saying that she quits (SPOILER: After all the Egger's are living with no mother... it's quite sad but the story get suspenseful each chapter)... So the father, Ralph Eggers, doesn't hear his children out, and punish them; by going up the highway and near Witherwood, and leaving them for about twenty minutes, because that's what his father used to do... Except that plan did not work out... Instead the Egger's are being chased, trying to hide from weird people like Orrin, and trying to look for their dad. But later on... somehow Ralph gets amnesia, and forgot about everything except two clues, Witherwood and Martha... Meeting people who can force others to do something with their mind (*cough *cough Mavin)... meeting different creatures like Lars, and to a random taxi driver named Sam...this book is quite a fun roller coaster. Do you want to ride on it??? Well, go ahead! This book has a bit dark fantasy, suspense into this story. And tomorrow is Tobias and Charlotte's birthday, so to give them a birthday present, why don't you guys try and read this book! I really enjoyed how the author include some symbolic sketches that ran smoothly in the story...The narration of the story reminded me of The Series of Unfortunate Event Series (READ THIS AMAZING/SUSPENSEFUL SERIES)... which gave it more of a mysterious vibe... but watch out because this author leaves us with a cliffhanger!!!! I honestly enjoyed this thrilling book, and I hope I can read the next book in this series... because this author did not leave on a happy ending... instead a suspenseful one...So what exactly Witherwood??? What is inside Witherwood???? Will Ralph recognize his children??? What are the children doing inside Witherwood??? For fans of The Series of Unfortunate Events series, dark magic/fantasy, adventurous books,Lockwood & Co series and the School of Fears series, or people who just want to read a good book... This book is for you!

After a slight misunderstanding involving a horrible governess, oatmeal, and a jar of tadpoles, siblings Tobias and Charlotte Eggars find themselves abandoned by their father at the gates of a creepy reform school. Evil mysteries are afoot at Witherwood, where the grounds are patrolled by vicious creatures after dark and kids are locked in their rooms. Charlotte and Tobias soon realize that they are in terrible danger―especially because the head of Witherwood has perfected the art of mind control.
If only their amnesiac father would recover and remember that he has two missing children. If only Tobias and Charlotte could solve the dark mystery and free the kids at Witherwood―and ultimately save themselves.

I read it on my kindle, and needless to say it involves lots of adventure and fantasy. If you liked Harry Potter or the Eildon Chronicles, I'm pretty sure you'll appreciate this book. But, nothing beats Harry Potter. I was kind of mad that it was for younger kids though. The words they use are really simple. But, I'm just comparing it. The book as a whole is a four star rating. The plot is developed well, and the characters fit along with it. Great book overall!
I think this pretty cool
