Official synopsis Publisher
Out of the corner of my eye, I catch something moving by the barn.
When I look, it disappears. Wait. There it is again, at the cornfield.
Some movement, some thing.
Mom and I have been on the run for years. Every time he catches up with us, we move to a new place and start over.
But this place is different.
This place is full of secrets. And they won’t leave me alone.
“Brilliant, page-turning, and eerie. Had me guessing to the very end.” -Joseph Delaney, author of The Last Apprentice series
“It’s about ghosts and terrifying danger and going mad all at once. I didn’t know what was real and what was imagined until the very last page. I loved it ” -Melvin Burgess, Carnegie Medal and Guardian Prize winning author of Smack
