About this listen

Mysteries deepen, secrets darken, and the stakes grow scarier in this second title in the New York Times bestselling Books of Elsewhere series—for fans of Small Spaces, Nightbooks, and Wednesday

This house is keeping secrets . . .

Olive thinks she's controlling the house—but is the house controlling her?

Olive Dunwoody is getting desperate. Her friend Morton is still trapped inside Elsewhere, in the old McMartin house's enchanted paintings, and she has no way to reach him. So when Rutherford, the oddball kid next door mentions a spellbook, Olive sees a glint of hope. If she can find the McMartins’ book of spells, maybe she can help Morton escape Elsewhere for good. Unless, that is, the book finds Olive first. The house isn’t the only one keeping secrets now, and Olive has no idea how much danger she's in.

Welcome to Elsewhere . . .

First, a pair of enchanted spectacles. Next, a deadly book. Then, magical paints from which a world called Elsewhere spills like a dream turned nightmare. And lastly, strangers, come to take it all for themselves—if even darker forces don’t prevail. At the center: the flawed and tenacious Olive, three talking cats, two remarkable friends, and a hard-won trust that binds them all. This is the scary, must-read series widely praised and adored by kids, adults, and critics alike.
