Lyle House. The House for Crazy Kids. But I'm not crazy... am I?
“Am I crazy?” Chloe asks herself after waking up from her nightmare. She just keeps reminding her that there is no such thing as ghosts. It was just a dream, well, a nightmare! School that day just doesn’t feel right, so Chloe ducks into the restroom to dye her hair. She hears mysterious noises and then is followed by a janitor with a deformed face who will not stop asking her questions. When some teachers track her down, she tries to fight them off to get away form the janitor, but no one else seems to be able to see the janitor with the melted face. She is hauled out of school on a stretcher and eventually taken to Lyle House, which she finds out is a place for “crazy” kids. Now she is starting to really wonder: “Am I crazy?”
I really liked this book. It was different from what I expected. When I think of Horror, I think of something that is devilish and creepy (which I'm not a fan of...), but this was a horror that I really liked! It is the first book of a trilogy, and I am already ready to finish the trilogy! I want to find out what happens to Chloe and the other friends she met at Lyle House.
