A great summer thriller!  Due to renovations, fourteen-year-old Hannah Price and her parents are forced to move into Cowleigh Lodge.  It has a history of short-term tenants and it is soon clear why:  the house is old, dilapidated and full of secrets.  The creepy discoveries Hannah makes, the dreams she has, and eerie incidents in the house all point to the unresolved death of an 11-year-old girl, 140 years before.  Will Hannah be able to understand the whisperings of the house and bring peace to it at last?  Grade 4.
