Encanto meets Coraline in this "supremely successful, atmospheric" (Kirkus Reviews) middle grade story that deals with family ties, fear of change, and generational trauma as it follows a girl who must convince an old, haunted house to release its hold on her and her family. Eleven-year-old Micah has no interest in moving out of her grandfather´s house. She loves living with Poppop and their shared hobby of driving around rich neighborhoods to find treasures in others´ trash. To avoid packing, Micah goes for a bike ride and ends up at Finch House, the decrepit Victorian that Poppop says is Off Limits. Except when she gets there, it´s all fixed up and there´s a boy named Theo in the front yard. Surely that means Finch House isn´t Off Limits anymore? But when Poppop finds her there, Micah is only met with his disappointment. By the next day, Poppop is nowhere to be found. After searching everywhere, Micah´s instincts lead her back to Finch House. But once Theo invites her inside, Micah realizes she can´t leave. And that, with its strange whispers and deep-dark shadows, Finch House isn´t just a house...it´s alive. Can Micah find a way to convince the house to let her go? Or will she be forced to stay in Finch House forever?
