THAT was SCARY!

Mary Downing Hahn is someone I would love to meet.  I JUST missed her at the Gaithersburg Book Festival.  I am so mad.  I totally would have gone.  Not that I could have "met" her but just to hear her speak.  Oh man!  Why didn't I look this time LAST week!  I TOTALLY could have gone down there.  The cover of Took is so creepy!  And then when I saw it was MDH, I couldn't believe it!
This has to be one of her best books.  But then I think about all of the others and think, "is there a best MDH book?!"  They are all fantastic!  From the scary like Deep, Dark and Dangerous to the mysterious like Mister Death's Blue-Eyed Girls to the made-me-think-so-much Stepping on the Cracks, she has to be one of the best authors ever.
Took takes place in West Virginia where Daniel and his family:  mom, dad and little sister, have just moved.  They think they have moved into their house because they chose it, but a witchy woman has chosen it for them.  This book is just....oh...so SCARY!  Just so good.  Just so so so so so so good!
