The View from the Very Best House in Town

Asha has always been best friends with Sam. They play a game called HouseHaunt together, where they make houses and defeat the monsters that appear. They also play fake-soccer. Everything is perfect until Sam gets invited to go to Castleton Academy, where he becomes friends with Asha’s enemy, Prestyn.

Sam’s excited to be at Castleton. But everybody is saying “miracle boy” to him and suddenly he’s not so excited anymore. Only when Prestyn asks him to be his partner for a project does all the murmuring stop. Prestyn is nice at first… but is she actually that friendly?

I really enjoyed this book. I liked reading Asha’s point of view, Sam’s point of view, and even Prestyn’s house, Donnybrook’s, point of view. Anybody who likes stories about friendship and trust would like this tale.
