“The great gray beast February had eaten Harvey Swick alive.”

From the opening line we're quickly transported into a tale that's equally parts horror, fantasy and fairy tale.

The main character Harvey is suffering with dissatisfaction and boredom with his life and is tricked into becoming a visitor to Mr. Hood’s Holiday House a seemingly magical house where bored children can go to take a break from their normal lives, but obviously - things aren't what they seem.

This was an easy read with short chapters, cool illustrations drawn by the author himself which added to the overall feel of it and it just all flowed so well.

I didnt really like how it ended, it ended on a sad note and I'd have preferred something different, but I guess that's just the way some stories go.
