About this item
From the award-winning author of The Troubled Girls of Dragomir Academy comes an unforgettable and deeply personal story of the ghosts that surround us - and the ones we carry inside.The house seemed to sit apart from the others on Katydid Street, silent and alone, like it didn't fit among them. For Violet Hart - whose family is about to move into the house on Katydid Street - very little felt like it fit anymore. Like their old home, suddenly too small since her mother remarried and the new baby arrived. Or Violet's group of friends, which, since they started middle school, isn't enough for Violet's best friend, Paige. Everything seemed to be changing at once. But sometimes, Violet tells herself, change is okay.That is, until Violet sees her new room.
