Marigold huye de los fantasmas. Los espectros de su antigua vida siguen persiguiéndola, pero quizá mudarse de una pequeña ciudad costera de California a la ciudad de Cerdarville sea el nuevo comienzo que necesita. Su madre ha aceptado un nuevo empleo en la Fundación Sterling con el que le han dado una casa, y Mari tiene que compartirla con su irritante hermanastra de diez años, Piper. La nueva casa de revista de Maple Street, alzada entre viviendas en ruinas y rodeada de vecinos desconfiados, tiene sus... secretos. Y esa es solo la mitad del problema: desaparecen objetos, las puertas se abren solas, las luces se apagan, hay sombras atravesando las habitaciones, se oyen voces en las paredes y por el sistema de ventilación se filtra un olor fétido que solo parece detectar Mari. Y lo que es peor: Piper no deja de hablar de un amigo que quiere que Mari se vaya. Pero «huir de los fantasmas» es solo una metáfora, ¿no? A medida que la casa las va acechando, Mari aprende que el peligro no se limita a Maple Street. Cedarville también tiene secretos. Y estos siempre encuentran la forma de salir de entre las grietas.
Marigold is running from ghosts. The phantoms of her old life keep haunting her, but a move with her newly blended family from their small California beach town to the embattled Midwestern city of Cedarville might be the fresh start she needs. Her mom has accepted a new job with the Sterling Foundation that comes with a free house, one that Mari now has to share with her bratty ten-year-old stepsister, Piper. The renovated picture-perfect home on Maple Street, sitting between dilapidated houses, surrounded by wary neighbors has its… secrets. That’s only half the problem: household items vanish, doors open on their own, lights turn off, shadows walk past rooms, voices can be heard in the walls, and there’s a foul smell seeping through the vents only Mari seems to notice. Worse: Piper keeps talking about a friend who wants Mari gone. But “running from ghosts” is just a metaphor, right? As the house closes in, Mari learns that the danger isn’t limited to Maple Street. Cedarville has its secrets, and secrets always find their way through the cracks.
