White Smoke

When the Sterling Foundation offers Marigolds mom free housing for a year, her newly blended family moves to the embattled city of Cedarville, along with Maris bratty stepsister, Piper. Mari wants to be back in sunny California, not this oddly renovated home in a decaying townbut its not like the house wants her there, either.

It starts off slow. The perma-locked basement. Doors opening and closing when no ones there. Maris stuff getting moved around her room. Piper makes a new friend, Ms. Suga, except no one else has seen her. But ghosts arent real, right? Mari and her brother, Sammy, set up cameras to investigate.

The house doesnt like that.

When a fire starts across the street, Marigold becomes suspicious of Piper. After Sammy needs to be taken to the hospital when he almost dies, Mari decides they need to leave this house. Now.

But the danger isnt limited to just her own homeCedarville has its own secrets. And secrets always find their way through the cracks. Marigold wont be safe until she brings the truth to light once and for all.
