Description:

Fran dreads her summer at Stillness Hall with stuffy aunt, grumpy uncle, and bratty cousin Imogen—who vanishes into thin air! Stranger still, her relatives stare blankly: "Don't be silly, we have no daughter." Even Imogen's supposed bestie Bex draws a total blank. Who's gaslighting Fran? Teaming with reluctant Bex, Fran uncovers Stillness Hall's eerie heart: a secret garden cradling twelve haunting statues, whispering an ancient curse of enchantment and death. As eerie parallels blur reality and folklore, the girls race to unravel Imogen's vanishing before the garden claims another. Dual timelines collide in this addictive, twist-packed mystery (ages 9+) where nothing stays buried—perfect for readers who crave puzzles laced with chills and crossed truths!
