Gwendolyn

By Laura Robbie

Some houses keep secrets. This one was waiting.
When eight-year-old Gwendolyn moves with her mother and stepfather to a quiet mountain town, the promise of a fresh start quickly begins to unravel. The house sits alone at the end of a long dirt road-surrounded by a dying apple orchard, watched over by hills, and filled with a silence that doesn't feel empty... just patient. At first, it's the small things that seem "off..." A mysterious cellar that smells wrong. Scratching sounds in the attic late at night. Neighbors who won't come close-and won't explain why. Hints that are given by classmates but never explained. But as the days pass, Gwendolyn begins to understand that something inside the house is not just hidden... It's watching. And worse- it has been waiting far longer than she has. Longer than she has been alive. As the stepfather and mother's behavior grows more unsettling, Gwendolyn is left to navigate a world where nothing feels safe-not her home, not her family, and not even her own thoughts. Because in this house, the truth doesn't stay buried. It rises.
