What do you like about this book:
Iris is an obsessive compulsive eleven year old who sees things, hears voices, and has premonitions, or is she? Her behaviors started manifesting themselves at the age of six when her mother died. At eleven, at times they seem better, but at other times worse. Now, her grandmother has died and she has inherited her home and the rest of her estate. To claim her inheritance she must live in the house. As her dad and she journey to the old farmhouse she wonders if the decision is wise. However, once they arrive, she soon feels as if this is where she belongs. Awaiting her arrival are s five wooden dolls all named after flowers. She soon discovers these dolls are much more than what they seem.

This is a good fantasy read apparently written for pre-teen and young teen readers. However, use caution when recommending for young readers because there is some foul language and also some slightly graphic violence. I particularly enjoyed the interplay between the dolls, they are just downright hilarious at times. The Koan were also entertaining and reminded me somewhat of the buzzards in The Jungle Book.
