Author Description

Age 11 is the worst possible age to move away from your school and all your friends. Just ask Ivy Appleton. She's moved from one side of the country to the other. She'll never have friends again! Worse, the old, wrecked house her parents have moved her to is haunted. Are ghosts really cannibals? That's what she's been told. She hasn't even unpacked before one starts appearing in her closet. And her parents won't believe a word she says. Is she doomed? Clifton LaBarge, a local kid, knows all about her house and its secrets, but won't share what he knows. Ivy is forced to uncover the secrets herself. Long, long ago something bad happened in her house and the anniversary of that event is just days away. Are the past and the present about to collide? Can Ivy change history? She's determined to try. But doing that will require a kind of courage she never knew she had.
