Reseña del libro "Olly Olly Oxen Free (en Inglés)"
Recently widowed, Janice McKendry and her three children-teens Lucas and Danica, and ten-year-old Jordyn-have just moved into an old Victorian manor in the small Ontario town of Brookeford. Enchanted by all things historical, especially those with an intriguing story, Janice's husband, Todd, had found the house and persuaded Janice to move there. A teacher and a writer, Todd had thoroughly researched the mysterious house and begun to write a trilogy about it. Unfortunately, Todd's untimely passing meant he failed to share his findings: that a malevolent something-or someone-has been haunting it for years.Unaware of the local rumors, Janice and the kids move in, and Jordyn even makes a new friend: a girl her own age who seems to know a lot about the house and surrounding property. Soon after, strange things start to happen-curtains shutting, lights flickering, a picture moves around-but they are unconvinced that it's not just their minds playing tricks on them. And as the family meets the locals, they learn many believe a ghost lives there.

From the books, the McKendrys learn all about the dark history of the house and the mystery surrounding the disappearance of a young girl-a little girl much like the one Jordyn has been playing with ...
