The Watching House

By A L CRAKER

A mysterious house. Green glowing windows. A black cat with a secret. Some places should never be watched... and some houses watch back.

When twelve-year-old Alan travels to Chicago with his older sister Evah, he expects deep-dish pizza, sightseeing, and a fun adventure away from home.

Instead, he discovers something impossible.

Across from their rental house sits another blue house that shouldn't be there.

Every night at exactly 3:14 A.M., green lights flicker in its windows.

Strange children appear behind the glass.

Rooms change places.

Whispers call Alan by name.

And somehow, a black cat identical to his beloved Pecan Sandy appears from inside the house.

As Alan uncovers the terrifying truth, he learns The Watching House remembers every child who has ever entered its doors... and it never forgets a face.

Now Alan, Evah, and Pecan Sandy must work together to escape before the house claims him forever.
