Asylum, by
Madeline Roux, is a wonderfully scary book. Dan, Abby, and Jordan meet each
other at a summer program at New Hampshire College, but unfortunately, the
dorms are being redone. The replacement dorms are in an old, abandoned asylum
called Brookline. Abby decides to go exploring in the closed off main office
and drags the boys with her. This is where the mystery starts to unfold. What
happens next I shall not tell you, you must read the book to find out.
I guarantee that you will love the photos the author includes.
They add a more realistic feel to the book. The photos make the book scarier
just like Miss Peregrine’s Home for Peculiar Children. If you love scary
mystery books you will love this book. (This book is not in our school library. It is recommended for grades 7-10, but if you check with your parents you can get it at the public library.)
