A young girl and her grandparents have moved into Horare House, the spooky mansion that used to be a school. When twins Jake and Jenna visit their new neighbors, Jenna is unnerved by a scary portrait of one of the old headmasters. His icy stare and Jenna's creepy sixth sense lead the twins to suspect that the forbidding house is haunted. And when they stay over one night, they discover it holds a chilling secret.

I love the book and will totally recommend it. I like how the twins watching out for each other and know the other one so well. The way the story is tell is very interesting, its a journey of finding ghost in their new place. Such a brave little twins. But it is so sad the story is a bit short. It will be interesting to see more development between the twins journey.
