The Witch's Portraits
Laura would never have believed that she and her best friend, Cara, would be standing on a garbage can peering into the window of her rarely seen neighbor's candlelit dining room. But if Laura hadn't been at least a little convinced that Cara might be right about Mrs. Blackert, they never would have discovered the portraits. And so here they were, watching spellbound as Mrs. Blackert had a conversation with one particular likeness whose evil eves seemed to slide and shift -- a conversation that was not one-sided....Chockful of scenes that fire the imagination and crawl up the spine. Lisa Mullarkey's first book for young readers offers a wonderfully suspenseful story of friendship, witchery, and impossible things -- that just might be true

I'm ten years old and loved this story. The friendship between the girls, is like what I have with my friends. Hope to read more about their adventures!
Well Written and Suspenseful

Definitely a story that I can relate to. When I read about Laura and Cara as well as the other characters, I felt I had seen these same people in my own neighborhood. I loved the ending!
AWESOME!

I can't wait for the next book! My grandmother gave me this book for my birthday. It is one of the only books I rushed to get to the end. It wasn't scary enough to give me nightmares, just scary enough to keep me interested!
I loved this book

A teacher told me about this book and suggested that I buy it for my children. I read it first, and was very impressed with the story. It is so creative! My children loved it as well. I hope there are more to follow. Lisa Geurdes Mullarkey is a very talented writer.
Better than Goosebumps

I enjoyed this book. I wonder if there will be a follow up. The main characters remind me of people I know, especially the witch who reminds me of my strange neighbor.
