Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:Emily Luccock is looking forward to living at Sugar Hill Hall....She remembers her aunt and uncle's grand old mansion well, with its enormous, elegant parlor, marble fireplace, and white china cups filled with hot chocolate. But this time things are different. Her aunt's once bright and lively home is now dead with silence. Evil lurks in every corner, and the dark, shadowed walls watch and whisper late at night. And no one ever speaks. Everything's changed at Sugar Hill Hall, and Emily knows something awful is happening there. What's become of Uncle Twice? Why is Aunt Twice a prisoner in her own home? Emily is desperate to uncover the truth. Time is running out, and she must find a way to save the people and home she cares so much about. Review:"Filled with secrets, suspense, wickedness, and warmheartedness." --The New Yorker Review:"Shimmers with tension — and defies putting down." --Booklist Review:"Will keep kids on the edge of their seats." --Kirkus Reviews Synopsis:Originally published more than a decade ago, this beloved novel introduces orphaned Emily Luccock, who arrives at her aunt and uncle's once-happy San Francisco home, only to find unimaginable horrors. Now with new cover art. About the AuthorBarbara Brooks Wallace has written Victorian mysteries that include a parlor, a tavern, a castle, a scullery, and a gallery. But she claims never to have lived in a tavern or a castle, or owned a house with a parlor, a scullery, or a gallery. So far she has not lived in a tenement, either. She simply dwells in a nice little house in Alexandria, Virginia, with her very nice husband; affectionate Burmese cat, Cleo; and turtle, Peter. Her son, Jimmy, daughter-in-law, Christina, and Victoria and Elizabeth, their two daughters, live nearby. What Our Readers Are SayingBe the first to add a comment for a chance to win!Product Details
