(3) 4-6 Josephine Cravitz expects little excitement in northern Manitoba. However, her new home surprises her with an escaped cannibalistic murderer running around and Thaddeus Hibble, an orphaned mad scientist secretly living next door. The story unfolds with unexpected twists. Funny, suspenseful, and a bit gruesome (in text and shadowy black-and-white illustrations), it's a good pick for sci-fi and horror fans alike.
