- W4381949084 abstract "Reviewed by: Peril at Price Manor by Laura Parnum Natalie Berglind Parnum, Laura Peril at Price Manor. Harper, 2023 [304p] Trade ed. ISBN 9780063249530 $19.99 E-book ed. ISBN 9780063249561 $10.99 Reviewed from digital galleys R Gr. 4-7 Twelve-year-old Halle dreams of being a Scream Queen in a horror movie, and so she immediately seizes the opportunity to deliver flowers from her family's shop to Maximus Price, legendary horror filmmaker. What she doesn't know is that a true horror scenario is currently unfolding at Price Manor as sheltered twins Paisley and Argyle Price fail to realize that their father's yearly birthday prank has gone terribly wrong and that the tentacle creatures leeching off of the faces of their caretakers are more than mere horror props. Used to adults taking care of their every whim despite being a day shy of thirteen, Paisley and Argyle are rather helpless against the creatures (once the siblings figure out what's going on), but after Halle joins them, the trio must use their strengths to repel the tredecapuses, save the world, and find Dad. Parnum's whip-smart narrative pokes fun at its own genre with a classic middle-grade cheekiness, giving each character depth beyond their archetypes. The three main characters have a delightful combination of bizarre talents—Halle's genre-savvy insight allows her to steer the group away from horror movie cliches, while the twins' knowledge of tapestry weaving and sousaphone playing come in handy [End Page 371] when calling for help. A playful acknowledgement that overbearing parents stop their kids from fully experiencing the world, this is a fantastic combination of mild locked-room horror and heroes who manifest in unlikely and hilarious ways.
