Somebody Come and Play by Clare McNally (1987)
3 out of 5 stars
Ten-year old Cassie and her summer friends, Diane and Lisa, meet a new girl called Nicole. She convinces them to go to the creepy old Hollenbeck house, despite Cassie's mother's warnings. Myrtle Hollenbeck recently killed herself after years of mourning her two children who disappeared. Strange events occur in this quiet lakeside town and Richard, a local detective, is convinced there is something supernatural going on but who is going to believe him?
This was a good read, and while it didn't blow me away there was certainly something about it that hooked me in and made me want to keep reading. I did find it a bit silly and cheesy in parts but it was an enjoyable read overall. If you like creepy kid stories then I'd recommend this one!
