Commentary Toward Books Behind the Attic Wall

They were watching...and waiting

At twelve, Maggie had been thrown out of more boarding schools than she cared to remember. "Impossible to handle," they said -- nasty, mean, disobedient, rebellious, thieving -- anything they could say to explain why she must be removed from the school.

Maggie was thin and pale, with shabby clothes and stringy hair, when she arrived at her new home. "It was a mistake to bring her here," said Maggie's great-aunts, whose huge stone house looked like another boarding school -- or a prison. But they took her in anyway. After all, aside from Uncle Morris, they were Maggie's only living relatives.

But from behind the closet door in the great and gloomy house, Maggie hears the faint whisperings, the beckoning voices. And in the forbidding house of her ancestors, Maggie finds magic...the kind that lets her, for the first time, love and be loved.

Crit Regarding Books Behind the Attic Wall

A refreshing coming-of-age story with a distinctly spooky twist.Also, it would make for a FANRASTIC movie!! I can see the movie trailer now:The camera shows the front of a car where an elderly man in a fedora-like hat (Uncle Morris) and a teenage girl of about 12 or 13 (Maggie) are seated. The elderly man has a pleasant air about him. The girl's face is twisted into a scowl.Narrator: "Over the years, Maggie has been thrown out of more boarding schools than she can count..."Zoom in on the girl.

*2.5 - I honestly have really mixed feelings. First, this took me wayyyyy too long to read lol. Second, I felt like pieces of it it were good and then it became boring. Third, I loved the ending(the last paragraph was so good omg). Fourth, this book is really weird and spooky and I liked it and I didnt at the same time...

I have literally been trying to remember the name of this book for decades. It was a beautiful, haunting story that stuck with me. I am seriously overjoyed to have found it!

Okay so this book has been the hardest book for me to ever remember. I read this book in 7th grade so I must have been about 12 or 13. That time in my life was a very difficult time for me family wise. I was a very depressed kid with lots of issues. I had to write a book report in 7th grade and this book totally caught my attention. A book about a girl that has to go live with her 2 aunt's and 1 uncle. She is completely isolated until she meets the dolls upstairs and begins a friendship, her

Incomplete review:I found a new middle grades author to admire and aspire to. I am so sad that she died young and so there are very few other books of hers to read.There is total ambiguity as to whether the dolls are talking or it's just Maggie, and in the end I lean towards believing it's Maggie's mind based on all the evidence that preceded her discovery "behind the attic wall."She has a powerful imagination despite her loneliness and despair, and some of her hard heart (her protective wall

Let's face it: This book is terrifying. I couldn't stop rereading it as a kid, but seriously... What the absolute hell? There are living porcelain dolls living in the attic? Does everyone in the family who dies become a doll? Or just the ones who die violently? Also, the story is a flashback, leaving you with the impression that the narrator has either been adopted or is in a foster home now, which is probably better all around, but there's no indication (that I recall) of whether this is a
