Summary: The Mystery of Drear House: Reviewing it
Comment: I really thought that this book was good! It takes place in northern Ohio in the house of Dies Drear, who was a long-dead abolitionist. Thomas Small is the main character who is living with his family in the Drear house. Mattie Darrow is a minor character who is Mac and Pesty Darrow's mom. She is a very ill person. The two scariest parts of the story is when Thomas' twin brothers disappear and when someone sneaks into Mr.Pluto's cave to trick him into getting the teasure! I really liked reading this book. It is so suspenseful and mysterious.

Summary: Drear House is not Dreary
Comment: Book Review of "The Mystery of Drear House"
The book I read is a fiction story called, "The Mystery of Drear House". This is an
exciting sequel to "The House of Dies Drear". The author's name is Virginia Hamilton. She is
married to a poet by the name of Arnold Ardoff.
Virginia has written many African American books in the past years including, "Paul
Robeson: The Life and Times of a Free Black Man", and "The People Could Fly: American Black
Folktales".
"The Mystery of Drear House" was about a black family that just moved into an old
abolitionist's house. They find the house has lots of secret passage ways to tunnels leading to
many caves, plus their neighbor's mother's room. The only problem they have is where they're
going to put all the endless fortune of the old abolitionist Dies Drear's, which has been hidden for
hundreds of years in an old cavern..
This book really didn't have any weaknesses in my opinion. "The Mystery of Drear
House" didn't have any wrong turns, or boring places. It was very organized, and didn't stretch
the story line. The book held my interest until the very end. The ending sounded like it could
have a sequel.
I enjoyed reading this book, and I would recommend, "The Mystery of Drear House," to a
middle school student that likes mystery-fiction. First they should read, "The House of Dies
Drear," to get some background information. I would also recommend this to a person that likes
to read about the underground railroad, or that is interested in history.

Summary: Don't Miss This!
Comment: Drear House has dangerous secrets that have never been told. The house is anything but normal with sliding walls, secret passageways, and even gold treasure. Thomas has one secret. He needs to find out who is responsible for the weird things going on. Thomas needs to know fast, before he becomes a secret himself. Do you think the house is hauntd?
THE MYSTERY OF DREAR HOUSE is a thrilling, terrifying, nightmare come true. I am easily scared. Yet, I enjoyed this book thoroughly. Since the descriptions were strong in detail, I was so distracted I was less nervous about the book. This is a book you don't want to miss!
