Flowers in the Attic by V.C Andrews

Cover :Way upstairs there are four secrets hidden.
Blond, beautiful, innocent little secrets, struggling to stay alive


Summary: First of all, this is one of those 'yesterday' books, but it's very classic, and extremly good. Chris, Cathy, Cory and Carry live a normal, loving life with their parents. One day, it all comes crashing down when their beloved father dies in a car crash. They must rely on their mother to guide them to the next step in life.
   The kids find themselves visiting their grandparent's mansion. They stay in one small room, with a staircase leading to a hot, stuffy attic. Every day the Grandmother visits, bringing them  a picnic basket of food and cruelly dictating the rules, and enforcing God's wrath. To keep their sanity, Cathy and Chris must believe that their Momma loves them, that she will take them out of the dreaded room once she gains back her inheritance. As the years pass by, so does the hope.  Read this shocking tale of the cruety of family and a story of survival.Can the children survive? Will they make it out of the Foxworth Hall alive?


Review:  Don't judge my dramatic summary, this book is amazing!! :pAgain, my review for this book is positive. Flowers in the Attic was a mature, detailed, creative novel that I thoroughly enjoyed. I could not put this book down, it was very interesting. Overall, it was amazing but with a few overly sad and shocking parts. I give this an 8 out of 10.
