All fourteen-year-old Ivy Sue Stoddard has ever wanted is a “forever home.” All she’s gotten are a string of revolving doors from wherever her mother happens to be shacking up at the time to her next foster home placement.
But her newest foster home comes with a scary twist: It’s a funeral home. And the revolving door here? It’s for a string of clients who are dying to get in.
Literally.
Her foster parents, Ed and Helen, seem okay—even though their son, Travis, is kind of a jerk. Fellow foster, Cory, is friendly enough. Seven-year-old Lily? She never left the “terrible twos.”
From the moment Ivy sees her new foster home, she senses there is something off about the place. When she starts hearing things and seeing things, and Lily’s behavior becomes more troubling, Ivy starts to suspect there’s more to this house—and its residents—than meets the eye.
Is it a case of someone playing sick funeral parlor tricks or, perhaps, are the answers to the mortuary menace to be found in the historic home’s past?
