About This Book

What if moving to a new home meant stepping into a real-life haunted house? Fredi and Elsa didn’t expect their new foster parents to hide secrets as spooky as the ghostly whispers in the old house. But when they dare to explore, they unlock mysteries that could change everything — and not all of them are ready to face the consequences.
