Cordelia was different from other children. She didn't like to play with anyone her age or, it seemed, anyone material. Her typical playmates, in fact, were the kind that no one else could see. This, in and of itself, may not seem that unusual, but, at least in Cordelia's case, the reality was something far more extraordinary - and something that defied the easy explanation of "a child's imagination at work." The life of a boy named John would change irreversibly when his curiosity guided him to a great old house owned by none other than Cordelia herself; though, as he would soon discover, there were many strange occupants the likes of which he'd never before encountered. I suggest you don't bother with the door bell; it's long since been in a state of disrepair.Knock if you've the courage, and enter boldly (if a bit shakily) into Cordelia's house of ghosts. Your purple-eyed hostess is strange but welcoming, and there's more in store for you than even a creative soul might be able to imagine. There are so many people to meet! Perhaps even friends to make. But one thing's for certain: you'll never be quite the same.
