Deephaven

From Ethan M. Aldridge, bestselling creator of Estranged, comes a gothic middle grade prose novel that follows a nonbinary student named Guinevere 'Nev' Tallow, who enrolls in the exclusive Deephaven Academy seeking a fresh start. However, from the moment they arrive, strange occurrences unsettle them—the house seems alive, students whisper in dark corridors, and the entire east wing is locked away for mysterious reasons. Nev becomes aware of something lurking in the shadowy corridors of the forbidden east wing, something that sobs quietly and scratches at the walls. With the assistance of another first-year student, Nev is determined to uncover the secrets hidden within the academy's halls, even if it means risking their new beginning to expose the truth.
