The Haunting of Hill HousemeetsGet Outin this chilling YA psychological thriller and modern take on the classic haunted house story fromNew York Timesbestselling author Tiffany D. Jackson!

Marigold is running from ghosts. The phantoms of her old life keep haunting her, but a move with her newly blended family from their small California beach town to theembattled Midwesterncity of Cedarville might be the fresh start she needs. Her mom has accepted a new job with the Sterling Foundation that comes with a free house, one that Mari now has to share with her bratty ten-year-old stepsister, Piper.

The renovated picture-perfect home on Maple Street, sitting between dilapidated houses, surrounded by wary neighbors has its . . . secrets. Thats only half the problem: household itemsvanish, doors open on their own, lights turn off, shadows walk past rooms, voices can be heard in the walls, and theres a foul smell seeping through the vents only Mari seems to notice. Worse: Piper keeps talking about a friend who wants Mari gone.

But running from ghosts is just a metaphor, right

As the house closes in, Mari learns that the danger isnt limited to Maple Street. Cedarville has its secrets, too. And secrets always find their way through the cracks.
