β¦ Synopsis
Halcyon House has everything: a beautiful location, incredible amenities, and life-threatening danger
In the beautiful Northern California coastal town of Monterey, Halcyon House is exactly the kind of place that any kid would want to explore. It's huge, abandoned, andβ rumor has itβhaunted. Neely and her little brother, Grub, are determined to get inside. The two siblings climb through an open window and find an old nursery, filled with old toys and, possibly, a ghost.
The siblings' ΠΒ trespassing ends, however, when the mysterious Hutchinson family arrives and reclaims the house. Neely and Grub should be in trouble, but instead Curtis Hutchinson welcomes the siblings in with open arms. But as Neely spends more time at Halcyon House, she realizes that this mansion and its inhabitants are far more dangerous than she could have possibly imagined.
This ebook features an extended biography of Zilpha Keatley Snyder.
