The Old Willis Place is a great novel for learning to ask questions while you read, not to mention an amazing story that will surprise, and maybe even horrify you, with the ending!

This book is amazing. I love mysteries, so this book has been great. Only for brave people, though ( nightmares ).

This book is creepy in the begining, but in the end it's very touching. I would recommend this book to you
