The Cavendish Home for Boys and Girls

The balance between creepy and age-appropriate kept me guessing. I wonder what inspired the choice to mix these genres in a kids' book.

The characters felt complex, making me question who the real monsters were. I'm curious if others saw them as purely evil or more layered.

The setting felt so pivotal to the story's mood and message. I wonder how much of the environment was based on real places or pure imagination.
