For fans of Small Spaces, Coraline, A Series of Unfortunate
Events, and James Howe's Bunnicula classics comes the first book in the
award-winning, New York Times bestselling Books of Elsewhere series.
This house is keeping secrets . . .
When eleven-year-old Olive and her parents move into the crumbling
mansion on Linden Street and find it filled with mysterious paintings,
Olive knows the place is creepy--but it isn't until she encounters its
three talking cats that she realizes there's something darkly magical
afoot. Then Olive finds a pair of antique spectacles in a dusty drawer
and discovers the most peculiar thing yet: She can travel inside the
house's spooky paintings to a world that's strangely quiet . . . and
eerily sinister. But in entering Elsewhere, Olive has been ensnared in a
mystery darker and more dangerous than she could have imagined,
confronting a power that wants to be rid of her by any means necessary.
With only the cats and an unusual boy she meets in Elsewhere on her
side, it's up to Olive to save the house from the shadows, before the
lights go out for good.
