Synopsis

A twisty, terrifying supernatural mystery about twelve-year-old, her creepy new home in Florida, and the territorial ghost of the young girl who lived there before her.

"A fiendishly creepy ghost story."--Chuck Wendig, New York Times bestselling author of Dust & Grim

"Hide-under-the-covers terrifying, I loved it.”--Katherine Arden, bestselling author of Small Spaces

Lily Horne is a drama queen. It's helped her rise to stardom in the school play, but it's also landed her in trouble. Her parents warn her that Florida has to be different. It's a fresh start. No theatrics. But this time, the drama is coming for her.

Her new house is a real nightmare. . .

The pool is full of slime, the dock is rotten, and the swamp creeps closer every day. But worst of all, the house isn't empty . . . it's packed full of trash, memories, and, Lily begins to fear, the ghost of the girl who lived there before her.

And whatever is waiting in the shadows wants to come out to play.

Goodreads review by Dayla on April 04, 2022

This was a very spooky read that I think will be perfect for readers looking for a nice ghost story in middle grade! That being said, I think that beyond this being a ghost story, one of the scariest aspects of this book is the dad and his verbal abuse. He was AWFUL and her mom wasn't much better. I......more

Goodreads review by Horror on April 11, 2022

This was a great atmospheric spooky story full of messages and a great setting. Perfect for a summer ghost haunting tale since it takes place during the summer and by a swamp. The story was really well written and it had relatable characters that reacted to a typical ghost haunting in a bit of a diffe......more
