'GLORIOUSLY SPOOKY AND UTTERLY SPLENDID.'
HANA TOOKE,
author of The Unadoptables

Amity has run off into Badwell Woods.

Her brother Claude goes after her, only to discover his little
sister's scarf dangling near a house in the trees.

Has she gone inside?

He enters, not expecting a three storey-building with NO stairs.
And a party laid out when there's nobody else around.

Only when the front door locks behind him does he realize it's
a housetrap.

And they've been caught . . .
