House Full of Strings - Paperback

by Emmi Kolosov (Author)

For fans of Coraline and Alice in Wonderland comes a new, heart-pounding adventure...

Since Levi was four, he had Kearney to take care of him. They always had each other's backs and needed nothing else. Or that's Kearney's logic, at least. But Levi's view on life isn't as simplistic. He has a taste for the extravagant and exciting, and he never expected to find those cravings satisfied by a weird little house in an alley. After all, that house had always been there with its secrets, and he was always eager to learn them. He had a feeling it wanted to share them, too.

And one day, it happens. The house finally opens up, and the boys get thrust into its bizarre world inside. Levi expected the inside of a house to be, well, a house, but he and Kearney get a healthy dose of sickeningly sweet candy worlds, run-down amusement parks, and sentient dolls with an astounding lack of common sense instead.

But behind the house's strange yet playful veneer is an ancient web of lies, one that threatens to trap any who enter it forever. And now that they're wrapped up in the middle of it, the only choice the boys have is to unravel the house's mystery before it unravels them.
