Winner of the Young Quills Historical Fiction Award, nominated for the Carnegie Medal, Maggie has witnessed impossible things. However, no one believes her, and now her family has taken her away to spend the winter in a remote, freezing farmhouse. Bored and angry, Maggie and her younger sister Kate start playing tricks: rapping on the floorboards above their parents' bedroom, cracking their toes under the table, and telling tales about noises in the night. The house starts to make strange sounds of its own. Neither Maggie nor Kate can explain it, but it seems as though someone – or something – is trying to communicate with them. Inspired by the incredible true tale of the Fox Sisters, the girls who made their fortune in nineteenth-century America by speaking to ghosts, Maggie and Kate must uncover the truth behind the mysterious noises and discover the secrets of their family's past.
