After they find a hidden office and slip into Drenigh—a world of dreams and nightmares—the siblings will have to be braver than they ever imagined. A force of evil threatens to upset the balance in Drenigh. The Wickenstaffs must preserve the balance before the darkness creeps in and devours their own world, only they don’t even know the vital roles they will play.

I loved this book. It was almost like two books in one. The first half was kind of a familiar, but still very interesting type book, like when you're reading a new interpretation of an old story. In this case, it was like a new haunted house story. It was really intriguing and I couldn't stop reading it. And then it turned into something totally new and different! It was so imaginative and creative. I loved being immersed in this whole new world and will definitely be recommending it to others.
