The Tower Room

Helen Öberg, Kristin Lidström

When Manda-Li follows her grandfather to a seemingly abandoned house, strange things begin to happen.
Is the house really empty? And what happened to the two boys who once lived there?
Manda-Li is drawn into a magic, scary adventure where memories of the past, longing and friendship, dissolve the boundaries between the living and the dead. When the old hidden secrets are revealed, her own life will change forever.
