Student Book Reviews

Book Review written by Imogen Gr 5

HER PERILOUS MANSION 

By Sean Williams

HER PERILOUS MANSION by Sean Williams is about an orphaned boy named, Almanac. Almanac gets an invitation to a mansion and is investigating and looking for M.R. Packer, the head butler. When he hears a blood curdling scream from the ground level, he races down the stairs only to find a skinny white girl with a green dress and long black pigtails. She said she was attacked by something and that something was MAGIC!

In this book, Almanac and Etta along with the ghosts of Her Perilous Mansion, try to solve the puzzle of which sorcerer conjured the spell tying them permanently to the house.

I love this book because of the action, adventure and mystery of HER PERILOUS MANSION!

Happy reading!
