Overview
In thisĀ not-so-scaryĀ ghostĀ storyĀ from Jacqueline Davies, bestselling author of the Lemonade War series, quirky, tool-wielding Alice Cannoli-Potchnik begins to repair the dilapidated mansion next doorāonly to discover the old house is home toĀ ghosts, and they need mending, too!
Home is where the heart is. But can a house have a heart of its own?
Ten-year-old Alice is moving for the eleventh time.
Sheās lived in so many houses, each more broken than the last, that home to Alice is nothing more than a place you fix and then a place you leave. After all, who needs a permanent home when youāre a whiz at fixing things?
But when Alice arrives at her new home, she canāt take her eyes off the house next door, the stately dark house that hulked in the dimming light. The once-grand mansion, now dilapidated and condemned, beckons Alice; it's the perfect new repair job!
As Alice begins to restore the House to its former splendor, she senses strange presences. Is there a heartbeat coming from the Houseās walls? Is someone looking at her? Soon she realizes sheās not alone. ThreeĀ ghosts have been watching, and they need Aliceās help to solve their unfinished business.
Will Alice be able to unravel the mysteries of the House and find her forever home . . . before itās too late?
