House of Dark Shadows

When the Kings move from L.A. to a secluded small town, 15-year-old Xander is more than just disappointed. He and his friends loved to create amateur films, and the tiny town of Pinedale is the last place on earth a future filmmaker wants to be from. But he, David, and Toria are captivated by the many rooms in the old Victorian fixer-upper they move into — until they discover there's something odd about the house. Sounds come from the wrong directions. Giant footprints appear in the dust. And when David tries to hide in the linen closet, he winds up in locker 119 at his new school. Could it be that their new house has a &quot;personality&quot; of its own? What if it's a bad personality...and it doesn't like the Kings at all? <p> The haunted house story gets a complete makeover in Richard Liparulo's taut thriller series about three kids trying to find their missing mother, even if that means confronting the ultimate evil...or traveling through time to fight it.</p>
