The Peculiar Incident on Shady Street

(3) 4-6 Twelve-year-old protagonist Tessa's new house in Chicago is downright frightening. Lights flicker, doors lock, etc.; but when her brother's doll begins shedding real tears, Tessa knows something otherworldly is trying to communicate with her. Tessa enlists the help of new friends and the local library to untangle the mystery. Concise writing and short chapters make this chilling supernatural-thriller a real page-turner.
