"The last thing thirteen year old Charly (with a "shh") expects to do when she, her mother and sister Nikki move to Prince Edward Island to live with Grammie is embark on an adventure. But the day Charly and her friends break into the weather-beaten house on Northumberland Strait, she becomes fascinated by the presence she feels there. Charly returns to the house alone, compelled by the notion that someone still inhabits it. As she enters the yard, the old building is suddenly transformed into the solid and stately house it originally was. Who is the mysterious young woman she meets inside, and why can only Charly see her?" -- (back cover)
