Description

Inspired by Hansel and Gretel, this spooky ghost story and touching debut investigates the gingerbread houses that we trap ourselves in when we don’t learn to love ourselves as we are, perfect for fans of Ghost Squad and The Girl and the Ghost. Bee planned to spend her summer reading and exploring a new theme park with her friend. However, she's stuck at Storm Lake with her family. She discovers a magical house across the lake that transforms her into the cool girl she always wanted to be, making cottage life seem not so bad. But Bee is haunted by strange dreams and a persistent chill. Alongside the dorky boy next door, Lucas, and a new friend, Alina, Bee discovers there's a witch at Storm Lake targeting her.
