This adventurous book has a lot of twists, along with a boy named Thomas. House of Dies Drear is filled with critical and breathtaking actions. It’s an 8/10. If you like a book that is sometimes scary but calm at the same time, this is your cup of tea. Beneath the rigid 3 story house there is a tunnel that was an underground railroad. This book has hidden clues all over it. When the son of Mr.Pluto came out to scare Thomas and his dad it wasn’t that scary. If you want a really scary book this isn’t the one for you. I think the book isn’t that great.
