Frank thought her summer couldn't get any worse--until big, weird,
smelly Nick Underbridge rescues her from a bully, and she winds up at
his house.
Frank quickly realizes there's more to Nick than meets the eye. When
she's at his house, she hears the strangest, most beautiful music, music
which leads her to a mysterious, hidden door. Beyond the door are
amazing creatures that she never even dreamed could be real. For the
first time in forever, Frank feels happy . . . and she and Nick start to
become friends.
But Nick's incredible secrets are also accompanied by great danger.
Frank must figure out how to help her new friend, the same way that he
has helped her.
Paired with gorgeous black-and-white illustrations from Levi Pinfold,
acclaimed author A. F. Harrold weaves a powerful story about unlikely
friendship, strange magic, and keeping the shadows at bay.
