The Books of Elsewhere: The Shadows (Book 1) by Jacqueline West

When eleven-year-old Olive moves into the crumbling old mansion on Linden Street, she's right to think there's something weird about the place, especially the walls covered in creepy antique paintings. But when she finds a pair of old-fashioned glasses in a dusty drawer, she discovers the most peculiar thing yet. She can travel inside these paintings to Elsewhere, a world that's strangely quiet . . . and eerily sinister.


Now, I don't like spooky, scary, horror or anything along those lines typically. But, this book had just the right amount! It was suspenseful, creepy and mysterious.  I really wanted to know what was happening and why! Great page turner and I loved the cats!



The second book in the series is out already. It's called Spellbound.
