| Summary: | When twelve-year-old Sam visits his grandmother in Singapore, he encounters the ghost of his dead mother, trapped in time at his age, and soon discovers that the whole neighborhood is haunted by the ghosts of murdered children. Lonely twelve-year-old Sam Wells has never known his mother. So when his maternal grandmother calls with a plane ticket to Singapore, he hopes the trip will give him the answers he's been looking for. But his imposing family home isn't what he expected. His grandmother is a stranger. Spiders crawl over impassible mounds of hoarded mementos. The house is such a labyrinth that Sam can barely make his way through the boxes, let alone find out anything about his mom. Until he meets her ghost, frozen in time at age twelve. Something terrible happened when Priya Malhotra was just a schoolgirl in Singapore. Something twisted enough to keep her trapped. Something that might be happening again. Children are going missing as they did decades before in Sam's eerily unsettling neighborhood... and the closer Sam gets to the terrifying truth that lurks within the haunted, abandoned factory where the original crimes occurred, the more it seems that Sam will be the next to disappear. To save himself, he'll have to untangle the mystery. But if he does, will he lose his mom forever? |
