Summarized by Shop
An eerie middle grade mystery debut that follows a young girl who returns home to find the people of her little town, including her best friend, chillingly changed after the arrival of the prim and proper Gingham family. "A rip-roaring adventure, but more importantly, a kids' power ballad to the importance of being yourself." --Gordon Kor
