Run for your life!

The title Home for the Howl-idays definitely suits this book. When someone goes home for the holidays they think turkey, Christmas tree, presents, and a good time with family. However, this isn't the kind of setting Sam and Leesha Hollister return home, from boarding school, to. Things are a 'little' different at the Hollister Mansion and are definitely not what they seem. One: Why is everyone calling Mom "Mummy"? Two: Why is Dad wearing a black cape and is pale? Three: Why is little Webster howling like a wolf? Four: Why is the house decorated all in black? This is a really great book and I couldn't put it down. Once again Dian Curtis Regan snagged my attention for a good hour. It's worth the read!

This is a fun fantasy that offers many teaching opportunities ranging from discussing figures of speech to creating the board game to match the one in the book.
