House of Doors - Theresa Jenner Garrido - Bog

When fifteen-year-old Jacquelyn "Jack" Fletcher moves in with her elderly aunt, she thinks there is nothing to do in the sleepy island town except walk the beach. Then she meets boy-genius, Murphy Goldstein. Despite the unpleasant feeling growing in the pit of her stomach, Jack lets Murphy persuade her into exploring Penley Hall, an abandoned, pre-Civil War homestead outside of town. There they find a hopelessly tangled overgrowth that has been untouched for generations. The massive estate reeks of death and decay. Jack balks at venturing further, convinced something evil lurks about the place, but an unlocked door is too tempting for Murphy. Armed with flashlights and reckless determination, they investigate the moldy mansion. What they discover leaves them breathless. Something sinister has taken possession of the old house; something better left alone.
