Flowers in the attic by V.C. Andrews book review

     This tells the story of 4 siblings name Christopher, Cathy, Carrie, and Cory who lives are changed when their father dies in a car accident.  Their mother Corrine then writes to her parents for help.  Corrine gets a letter from her mother saying that Corrine and the children can come and live at her parents house.   They leave in the middle of the night and arrive at Foxworth Hall that Corrine's parents own.  The siblings find out that their mother came from a very wealthy family.  The children don't understand why Corrine and her parents have not talked for so long.  The grandmother meets them and takes them up to a bedroom that is connected to the huge attic of the house.  The children find out that they are going to have to stay in this room until their grandfather dies and that their mother is written back into the will.  The months turn into years and the children find out that over the years their mother remarried without telling them.  Then the children start getting sick and can't figure out why.  Cory gets so sick that the children beg their mother to take him to the hospital.  THe mother comes back and tells the children the next day that Cory has passed away and was buried under another name.  The other 3 then start planning an escape when they realize that they are never going to leave the room.  The older child Christopher then makes a copy of the key to get out of the room to steal stuff to sell for money for the children to survive out on the streets.  While Christopher is out stealing items, he finds out that their mother had been poisoning them with arsenic and advises that they have to leave the next morning early.  They end up escaping and getting on a train heading toward North Carolina.
     I really liked how this book was written.  I like that it was written in the point of view of the middle child Cathy.  The characters are really well written and I could almost picture myself being Cathy and going through what she was going through.
