Halcyon House was named so because Harold Huchinson the first came to live there in hope of peace and tranquility.Instead terrible things happen.For many years the old housewas deserted ;but Neely and Grub play in it.Yet... is it safe?

refreshingly different and "real"
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 25 years ago
THE TRESPASSORS is full of the sort of carefully chosen subtleties and questions that in no way insult the intelligence of its target audience. The sibling dynamic of Neely and Grub is INCREDIBLY poignant and well-written. The author excells in her depiction of an adolescant world with one foot in reality and the other in imagination and doubt. A real page-turner, too! My only complaint is, I felt the story fizzled in the end, settling for a lesson-in-a-paragraph approach. However, the closing paragraph is wonderful, it's been a while since I closed a book with such a smile on my face. RECOMMENDED!
One of the best books I've ever read!

This was definitely an awesome book. It was realistic, yet scary -- it shows how real life, curiosity, and the "boy nextdoor" can turn on you when you least expected them to... You MUST read it!
