This house is keeping secrets...When 11-year-old Olive and her parents move into the crumbling mansion on Linden Street and find it filled with mysterious paintings, Olive knows the place is creepy - but it isn’t until she encounters its three talking cats that she realizes there’s something darkly magical afoot. Then Olive finds a pair of antique spectacles in a dusty drawer and discovers the most peculiar thing yet: She can travel inside the house’s spooky paintings to a world that’s strangely quiet...and eerily sinister.

Would you listen to The Shadows again? Why?
Each chapter left the listener wondering what would happen next.
Any additional comments?
This book had just the right amount of suspense and mystery for my 5th grader. I did not have to provide encouragement to read from this text each night, but instead had to say that it was time to stop for the evening. My child is eager to read book 2 of the series.
