Moving from Stockholm to an isolated pine plantation in northern Sweden is bad enough, but when the snows come early and all links between the Strombergs and the outside world are cut off, it gets worse. With only a grudging housekeeper and increasingly withdrawn parents for company, there is nothing to do but to explore the old plantation house. Anything to stay out of the endless pine trees pressing in on them.
But soon it becomes clear that the danger within the old plantation house is even greater than what lies outside... A chilling YA horror, perfect for fans of Dawn Kurtagich, Juno Dawson and Stephen King.
