Reviews with the most likes.
Amy is sent home from school early. A snowstorm is coming, and Amy and her grandmother are trapped in their cottage in the country. Amy's grandmother has prepared well; the larder is fully stocked and the cottage is nicely warmed by the fire. And then suddenly an intruder bursts into the cottage and Amy and her grandmother are right in the middle of danger and struggle. And there is no way to tell who to believe or what is really going on.
It's refreshing to read this thriller written at just the right level of suspense for kids. The bucolic setting is ideal, too, with all the details about ordinary daily life in the country in Wales. You can't help but admire the characters of Amy and her grandmother—their courage, their resourcefulness.
