Josie always liked visiting her grandmother in the countryside. But when her mother loses her job in the city and they're forced to relocate along with Josie's sister, Annie, she realizes she doesn't like the country that much. Especially because Grandma Jeannie has some strange rules: Don't bring any dolls into the house. And never, ever go near the house in the woods behind their yard. Soon though, Josie manages to make friends with the most popular girl in the sixth grade, Vanessa. When Vanessa eventually invites Josie back to her house to hang out, Josie doesn't question it. Not even when Vanessa takes her into the woods, and down an old dirt road, toward the very house Grandma Jeannie had warned her about.
As Josie gets caught up in her illicit friendship with Vanessa, Annie is caught in the crossfire. What follows is a chilling tale of dark magic, friendship, and some verrrrrry creepy dolls.

WARNING: Do not read this book if you have an overactive imagination and are scared of the dark. I really liked this book because it has quite a few close calls that don't last long! This book was scary when we see all the staring dolls and true form of beryl.

The Collector is such an amazing book ! It has page turning scenes and is gut-wrenching. The ending is such an amazing cliffhanger which makes you want to read the sequel . I highly recommend if you´re looking to be frightened.

The book is about two little girls .Josie and Anna's mom lost her job in Chicago and live with grandma Jeannie.Grandma Jeannie had three strange rules, don't open your windows ever. No dolls, and no going into the forest. I encourage 4th to 6th grade to read this book

This book is a good book and scary. The reason it's a good book is because Josie solves mysteries of the missing children. The scary parts are mind blowing and give you goosebumps I consider 5th and up.

The Collector was a little scary on some parts.The thing that got me captivated was Josie's dreams.Her grandma has 3 rules ,1 never No dolls.2 Never leave your windows open and know going in the forest behind the house. Grandma Jeannie was trying to protect Josie and Anna from a from a monster named Beryl. Beryl likes dolls.Josie made a friend Vanessa. Vanessa was under Beryls spell Near the end Beryl turns Anna into a doll.Josie defeats Beryl .If you like scary books you should read The Collector.I think this book is a good Halloween story.

The Collector is written by K.R. Alexander. The collector has many fascinating details and characters in the book. One of my favorite parts in the book was when Beryl calls Josie's name. K.R. Alexander did a brilliant job on this novel. The book has a couple of reviews that said, " It is scary." To me it was not that frightening, but young ones might get a little alarmed. I would rate this book a 10/10.
