One, never leave your windows open after dark, even if it’s hot. Two, no dolls in the house. And three, never, ever go by the house in the woods. As always my reviews are based off of my true and honest opinion and I do my best to keep all reviews spoiler free. Sixth grader Josie and her little sister Annie along with there mom are leaving the city to move in with there grandmother in the country. A choice that Josie isn’t to happy about. Josie’s grandmother always made it clear to stay out of the woods and about the three important rules to never break.

Josie isn’t sure how she feels about these rules, but there are strange noises coming from the woods at night, and some of those noises sounds like someone calling her name. Soon Josie makes friends with fellow sixth grader Vanessa. She lives in the creepy old house by the woods, the one grandma warned her about. Complete with creepy old dolls.

Between the rules, the house, the dolls, her dreams, and her friends suspicious behavior, Josie can feel that something is very wrong and she fears for her and her sister.

This book was really good even considering it was meant for much younger than me. I started reading it at night and it is a quick read. Most adults could finish it in an hour or two. Keeping in mind that I get spooked easily. I recommend reading this in the day. I started it at night right before bed and I got seriously spooked, but thats what was so great about it.

I found it to be fast paced and really entertaining. Great for a quick scare. It reminded me a bit of Goosebumps and I like Goosebumps.

The only real problem I had with it was it wasn’t really an original story. Lots of creepy dolls and a spooky woods, complete with a old superstitious grandmother. However, even with the same old story it still held my attention and I truly enjoyed this book. Goodreads helps you keep track of books you want to read.

Her grandma has some very strange rules. Never leave your windows open after dark. No dolls in the house. Never, ever go by the house in the woods. For a middle grade novel it was quite creepy and eerie. Great Halloween read for anyone who wants a spooky but super easy book to re This book deserves a strong 3.

Great Halloween read for anyone who wants a spooky but super easy book to read. BUT with it being a middle grade novel it has little to no character structure, little to no detail, and is such a simple and easy read that it could easily be finished in no time at all. It’s also quite predictable.

For a young reader or a very frightened reader I could see this book being a really scary read. With that being said though I still really enjoyed it. That could just be because it has a certain character that has a certain ability that I absolutely LOVE in books But you’d have to read it yourself to find out what that is!

View all 8 comments. Sep 27, McCaid Paul rated it really liked it Shelves: horror. The Collector is one of the more creative middle-grade horror books, with a fair amount of dolls.

I loved that the author didn’t hold back and delivered a truly spine-chilling tale involving all the things from our nightmares. It was a bit rushed in places, but the mystery definitely made up for it. This is one book that horror enthusiasts shouldn’t miss!

After living in the city, the secluded wooded town seems like a beautiful move. But grandmother has a few rules that intrigue Josie. She thinks it is not a problem that she can follow them, even if it is a strange request! But then things begin to happen and the beautiful woods seem to be calling Josie which would cause her This is a scary 4th grade and up read! Then there is her new friend, Victoria. I would have given this book 5 stars if it had a diverse cast of characters.

This book would be awesome if Anna was a brother instead. It is a book full of female characters which leave my male readers a lack to connect to a character! Boys love scary books! They want to see themselves in a character. I am certain my male students will be disheartened to read only female characters! Jul 05, Alyson Stone rated it really liked it Shelves: middle-fic , horror. Book: The Collector Author: K.

My students reading this title around Halloween and told me that if I was a decent horror fan, then I needed to add it to my collection.

Like always, they were right. This story is creepy, but not too creepy for middle grade. I would put it on the same terms of Mary Downing Hahn.

This deals with creepy dolls and a loner in the woods. Josie has just moved here from the city. Her grandma has strange rules about not going into the woods and no dolls. Josie just thinks her grandma is nuts. Then, she and her sister both make friends who seem strange, but treat the girls well. Let me tell you, there is nothing more creepy than hearing voices coming out of the woods in the dead of night.

The only person who does is their grandma, who keeps saying that Beryl is coming for them. It just sounds downright creepy. Plus, if you look at the cover. Yeah, uh-huh, very creepy. That cover alone will be enough to draw in middle school readers.

The spooky feeling is worked in throughout the story. Even though it was a rather predictable storyline, I still wanted to keep reading. There is just something about the way this book is presented that made me want to keep going.

I also like how this deals with a city girl moving to the country and struggling to fit in. Think about your middle school days. Believe it or not, this is a pretty common thing that middle schoolers to have to deal with. Again, prefect set up for the audience.

Middle schoolers do want to read about things that they can relate to. So, overall this book has the right amount of creepy for middle school. Older readers will also enjoy this, especially if you are trying to get into the horror genre.

Nov 22, Rachael Fryman added it Shelves: Six word summary: Creepy lore, creepy woods, creepy dolls! Loved: I think this is a pretty decent MG horror novel for those craving more in the genre. I know that, while I as an adult found it fairly predictable, I still wanted to finish it to see what happened! Verdict: Add to your TBR. Jun 10, Mysha Sajid rated it it was amazing. This book was kinda scary.

I think a theme for this book would be “listen to your elders” because they probably know better. Oct 23, Avery rated it did not like it. This review has been hidden because it contains spoilers. To view it, click here. I finished reading The Collector by: K. This story is about a small family moving out to the country with their grandmother, who is very sick.

Their grandmother has a set of rules they have to follow. Windows must be shut at night, no dolls in the house, and no going into the woods. The main character, a sixth grade girl by the name of Josie, hates the country. The two talk, and hang out. Eventually, Vanessa comes to sleep over at our lovely protagonists house, and the grandma panics over her being there.

It is soon discovered that Beryl, the nondescript antagonist, is using Vanessa to get to the main protagonist. Personally, I though the book was horrible. While I, a 13 year old girl, may or may not be the intended demographic, I still should feel something for the characters.

All I felt was annoyance. My anger is directed at the author, who clearly does not know how teenagers really act. In moments were I was supposed to be concerned for the characters, or worried that they may not make it out alive, I felt nothing. The author has no concept of suspense or even how to make a half decent character. None of the characters, except maybe the grandmother if I want to be nice, had any sort of redeeming qualities to offset how fictitious and two-dimensional they seem. It was so painful to read, and somehow the author managed to convince me to hate the characters rather than want them to make it out okay.

May 15, Amit rated it it was amazing Shelves: horror , , favorites , pdf-ebook-online. Oh Sweet Jesus Christ!!! Now that’s what I call a horror ghost story when it includes with my forever nightmare thing Doll too.

I just hate Dolls and Mannequins or Clowns too. They give me the load of total creep and nightmare. Even though I couldn’t help but kept reading when it is about them, yeah you can say I want to face my fear?

Well my answer is it has something more then just my fear. My alarm clock started blaring. I reached over to turn it off. My hand bump Oh Sweet Jesus Christ!!! My hand bumped into something. Slowly, I opened my eyes, tried to make my vision adjust.

There was a doll on my nightstand. A doll that looked an awful lot like Beryl. So that’s how there grandma warned them. The story immediately go straight to the point and from the first chapter it just hooked me up and I just couldn’t put it down.

This book to me was so addictive that I had to finish it in just one seating as if I got no choice. The truth is I didn’t want to out the book down until I dinish it Josie didn’t like her new school as no one wants to be friend with her but Venessa. That weird girl seems very nice to her and soon they became best friend. Venessa has her aunt to make her tiffin for her school but nobody else. As Josie’s little sister Anna too made friendship with a girl named Carol, Carol who got a weird characteristics about her too.

So when the Venessa invites Anna and Josie both they surpeised at the propose. But eventually they went with her and it was in the back yard of their grandma’s house in to deep woods. It was creepy and unnatural environment in Venessa’s house and the most frightening thing was when Venessa gift a creepy looking doll to Anna. Well the game just started from there at the very spot and who was Beryl actually? The name that mentioned by their granma but Josie’s mom told them it’s all bogus story.

But there’s more to that story not believe it’s fake. Terrible truth is waiting for them to reveal and Josie’s sister in danger too. So, what should Josie do to keep Anna ok or alive? Full Sep 23, Autumn rated it really liked it Shelves: I saw this book at my kid’s book fair and the cover just called to me. This is a good book for the middle grader maybe from 5th on up.

The plot wasn’t very long and it was straight to the point. Josie and her sister have to move in and help their mom out with their grandma. Though it seems their grandmother is sick and swears that something is out in the woods. There are rules to follow and you better follow them for Beryl will get you. Also, what do dolls have to do with this story? You gotta r I saw this book at my kid’s book fair and the cover just called to me. You gotta read it to find out.

Josie, of course, wants to go back home that is until she makes a friend named Vanessa. Vanessa, it seems though seems very mysterious and it isn’t until towards the end we find out why she is the way she is. It will take a simple task to the break the curse that is within the woods and at the house of Beryl. I will say I was curious on the writing that was left on Josie’s locker but I do have a feeling that it might be from a certain character that couldn’t speak out in fear of Beryl.

When you read the book you will understand. I am not sure if my son would like the book because it has to do with dolls but I may try it out on him. It isn’t scary but it does have a creepy factor to it. View 2 comments. Nov 13, Kim Friant rated it really liked it. I was seriously creeped out during the whole thing!

And I was very impressed with the unique story, I felt like I was reading something new. Beryl is a terrifying villain! I could totally see her in my head and she scared me. I did feel like some loose ends were left and that keeps me from giving it 5 stars. Then again, any future children of mine will be weird enough to start out with scary books so what do I know! I think this is a great read for anyone who likes creepy stories!

What they thought would be a quaint place to start fresh turns into their own personal nightmare. One full of evil dolls, and an ancient spirit living deep in the woods that is trying to claw her way back to the surface of life and regain the power she once had.

Alexander did a phenomenal job of not only creeping me out, but creating the scares for a middle grade audience! Strong recommend and 4 stars from me! Jun 05, Landa rated it liked it. I liked the plot, it was unique, ish. But when I reached the end it was obviously quite rushed by the author to finish it.

It was getting cheesier and cheesier.
