Eloise doesn't speak, but can she see into the past? This
exciting and atmospheric mystery from the author of the Chanters of
Tremaris series explores themes of family, friendship, and grief.
Something flickered at the top of the stairs. Eloise heard a
voice call, I'm coming!
, and a girl in a pale dress and a big
sunhat came running, her fingertips slipping down the curve of the slim
iron railing. Eloise went cold all over. She couldn't move, or breathe;
her mouth was dry. At the bottom of the steps, the girl in the pale
dress faltered, then stopped. For a fraction of a second she stood
motionless, as if she were listening. Then all at once she turned and
stared straight at Eloise. And suddenly the foyer was empty. The
ghostly girl was gone.
When Eloise's get-rich-quick dad moves them back to his home town to
turn the derelict family mansion into a convention center, Eloise feels
an immediate bond with the old house. She begins spending all her time
there, ignoring her strange grandmother and avoiding the friendly boy
next door. Then Eloise meets a 'ghost girl' who may or may not be from
the house's past, and events take a strange—and ultimately
dangerous—turn. Beautifully written, poignant, and gripping, this is a
charming and atmospheric story of personal growth, overcoming grief,
and the true nature of friendship and family.
