The wind whispered through the dark branches, murmuring a secret Jacob couldn't quite catch.

Jacob's parents decide he'll be safer with his dad's aunts in a tiny town in Idaho. Living with his strange great aunts in their run-down mansion is hard enough, but Jacob begins to think the house is haunted. He sees the ghostly image of a boy in the windows, and a voice calls him from the garden. It's up to Jacob to uncover long-buried secrets that could bring his family back together or tear it apart forever.
