Yay!  A new Middle Grade series to love!  As a mom to three girls, I am always on the lookout for good books for them with strong heroines and Eve is exactly that.  I have not read the first two books however but since Mr. Gray wrote this as a stand-alone book, I was able to pick up the Book of Shivers and not feel confused.  Mr Gray created an outstanding and imaginative storyline, filled it with unforgettable characters and truly excelled in his world-building.In this book, along with her three besties, our reluctant heroine Eve has to locate the Book of Shivers to save her beloved Gravesville AND the human world that is simply growing on her. As she goes through the storyline, Eve ends up in some unexpected places and uncovers some details and information that totally rocks both the worlds she exists in.  The humor and sarcasm in the story made this fun and entertaining to read.  While a bit on the dark side, the humor keeps it from being too heavy.I love well-written, fun series and Book of Shivers totally fits that bill! Robert Gray has a new fan in me, that's for sure.  I look forward to introducing this entire series to my fantasy-loving 6th grader ~ I'll get to be the 'Cool Mom' one more time but I enjoyed reading it for my own purposes as well.  I would recommend this to anyone!Rating:  5 Stars*****Note:  I received this book in exchange for my honest and unbiased review.  All opinions are my own and no further compensation was received.
