Product description

One of the brightest young stars of teen fiction makes the hair on the back of your neck stand up in this brand new, dead tense psychological chiller by Waterstone’s Children’s Book Prize winner Sally Nicholls.

Eleven-year-old Olivia has been in care since she was five, and is just beginning her sixteenth placement. Her new home is a secluded farmhouse, centuries old, where she slowly bonds with her foster family. But the house hides sinister secrets. It was once a notorious baby farm, where unwanted children were left to die. As Olivia discovers its dark past, she becomes convinced that the place is haunted. She is desperate to save her new family from the ghosts. The danger is real – but does it come from ghosts, or from inside the twisted mind of a very disturbed child? Powerful and thrilling writing from one of today’s most exciting young writers.
