Monsters That Are Also Family - Intriguing Suspense.

After an incident, Ellie returns home to her peculiar family after 8 years away at boarding school. Detailed descriptions of scenery and characters are vivid. Full of suspense with a combination of longing and fear, the first three chapters left me wanting more. Why was she sent away? Why didn't her older sister Luma ever write her back? Why is she so different from the rest of her family? I am rooting for Ellie to find her way.
