Publisher's summary

Exclusively on Audible. A Full-Cast Original Audio Drama for Ages 10 and Up.

"For a small, pretty town, we are surprisingly good at providing the unusual, the unexpected, the uncanny...."

Moving from the big city to the picturesque town of Sunnypoint seems perfect for Dillon and her mom. But the new house - a big, old Victorian - creeps Dillon out, especially the old trunk in the attic that seems to move by itself. As if that weren't bad enough, the tight-knit popular girls at her new school hate her instantly. Dillon finds solace with the quirky kids - Quinn, the film nerd, Birdie, the back-of-the-class wit, and Kumail, the history fanatic. Together they find a mysterious necklace in the trunk, and when Dillon wears it, all of her wishes seem to come true. For once the power may have shifted in her favor.

When one of Dillon's wishes is taken too literally, though, Quinn disappears, and she can't seem to wish him back. And her mom is suddenly acting super weird. Digging into the history of the house and its original owner, the kids decide maybe it's time to explore some darker magic to find Quinn. To undo what they have unleashed, they will have to delve into the deepest, darkest secrets of Sunnypoint - and face the lurking evil head on.

Welcome to Sunnypoint. Hope you enjoy your visit.

Meh. It got weird.

The story was ok, but not as great as other reviews would have made me believe. I didn’t like the seance stuff, but that’s more personal.

Great spine chiller

What a wonderfully crafted story. Written from the kids perspective with very real and endearing characters. Interesting twists and turns with just the right amount of shiver!

Fun

I was a little skeptical at first. This isn't what I'm used to in audio books. But it works. The story is great and the performance is solid.

Loved This

Rarely do I ever find a book that puts me on the edge of my seat. This story gave me that old school chill factor waiting for the next thing. Love it.

Waiting on the follow-up

It was fun.

What did you like best about this story?

Good book to go to bed too ... broken into small chunks so I could spread it out over several nights.

What does full cast bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

Love full cast .. like listening to an old time radio play.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

No.

Any additional comments?

Is there going to be a follow-up?

Good!

Audio transition to the dialogs need more polish so listeners can determine who is talking and what has been happening.

Mixed Feelings

I thought the story line was great however the sound affects were distracting and made it a bit cheesy.

Difficulty differentiating among the characters

Although the full cast used different actors, names of the characters were used less frequently than I would have liked to be able to tell them apart when two girls were talking to each other.
