Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:Susan Backstrom seems to have a charmed life — but she also hasdangerous family secrets. When she hears some kids talking about exploring a nearby haunted house, Susan asks to join them, even though she knows what might happen if she gets caught. The teenagers discover that there is indeed a ghost, and the house itself is a living, supernatural thing. With the help of five new friends — three humans, one ghost, and House — Susan has what she needs to build a new life, if she dares. Review:"Richly endowed with complex relationships, a strange and subtle brand of magic, evocative language, and suspenseful storytelling, this will draw readers into a world less safe and simple than it seems at first glance, then send them on a determined hunt for sequels." Booklist Review:"As the story is told through Susan's eyes, everything, even the more fantastical events, seems matter-of-fact and dispassionate, which draws readers in and intensifies the horror." School Library Journal Review:"The writing is controlled and effective; Susan and Nathan have vivid personalities almost in contrast to their silvery presences and the sentient house is a fine character." Kirkus Reviews Synopsis:Named as an ALA Best Book for Young Adults, this stand-alone prequel to A Red Heart of Memories and Past the Size of Dreaming delves into the background of a teenage ghost and the house in which he resides.
