Night House
About This Novel
Fourteen-year-old Richard is sent to live with his uncle and aunt in the remote, isolated town of Ballantyne after his parents die in a house fire. When a classmate named Tom goes missing, everyone suspects the new angry boy is responsible for Tom's disappearance. No one believed him except Karen when he said the phone booth at the edge of the woods sucked Tom into the receiver like a scene from a horror movie. She is a charming outsider who encourages Richard to pursue leads that the police refuse to investigate. Richard traces the number Tom dialed during his phone booth prank to an abandoned house in the Forest of Mirrors. There, Richard glimpsed a terrifying face in the window. Then voices start whispering in his ears... When another classmate goes missing, Richard must find a way to prove his innocence and stay sane while fighting the dark magic that controls Ballantyne and destroys him.
