The Ghosts Behind the Door

By Jen Wilde

For fans of India Hill Brown and K. R. Alexander, a chilling ghost story about the way history haunts us.

"This house is in my skin, my bones, my blood. It holds generations of our souls."

Maggie doesn't mind moving in the middle of the school year. It's not as though she had any friends to say goodbye to.

And when she arrives at Oak Grove, she's not at all surprised to find that the town has been whispering about her family for hundreds of years. The Havercroft women have always had a reputation for being "different".

Only maybe the town is right. Her family and their house are haunted. The walls breathe, the floorboards whisper, and the ghosts of her ancestors are trying to break free.

They're trapped, and Maggie is the only person who can free them.
