"Courtney Crumrin is a fun series, cover to cover." -- School
Library Journal
Courtney Crumrin grumbles about everything, but now she's really got
something to grumble over. Having run out of credit cards, her parents
are moving to the wealthy suburb of Hillsborough, to live rent-free with
their creepy old uncle Aloysius. Courtney is now an outcast among her
rich, snobby classmates.
And if that weren't bad enough, the musty, decrepit old mansion that she
now calls home is occupied by stranger creatures than just her parents
or Uncle Aloysius. They crawl about the house, just out of sight. They
crunch bones in the corner. They climb up on the bed and watch Courtney
while she sleeps. Mom and Dad don't notice them, but Uncle Aloysius
calls them the Night Things.
