What would you do if all of a sudden, your parents told you that you were going to be sent to an orphanage which was really a foster home because they could no longer support you? Even if they told you it was only temporary, would you feel scared, sad, happy, or excited? What if the name of it was The Fun House. Would you have the idea that it must be some kind of wonderful place, and that it wouldn't be too bad for a little while? BUT what if when you got there, you discovered there was nothing fun about it at all? What would you do? Join Ellie and her friends from school as they discover horrible things inside The Fun House and plan an escape. But will they be successful, or will they be caught, and what will their punishment be if they fail?
