What to expect
When eleven-year-old Amal and her family inherit a house from a long lost relative, they can't believe their luck. But only Amal seems to notice there's anything unusual about it. Like the way the beds make themselves or the dishes never need cleaning, almost as if the house is taking care of them...
But then a mysterious woman arrives claiming she is the house's true owner - and she gives Amal's family four weeks to leave before she demolishes it completely.
The clock is ticking, and Amal is determined to save Hope House from destruction and stop her family from losing their new home. She needs to investigate who left them the house in the first place. Why did they choose Amal's family to protect it? And who is this woman threatening to tear it down?
A mystery about family, identity and belonging. This story is perfect for fans of Matt Goodfellow, Onjali Q. Raúf or Disney's Encanto.
