A cursed house. A decades-old mystery. A brother and sister on the edge.

Nate is furious that he’s had to leave his school, break up his band, and move to the middle of nowhere with his family. But he never imagined he’d be moving into an old farmhouse that’s been left for dead.

From the moment Nate’s family arrives, he’s sure someone is watching them, and a series of creepy discoveries leads him straight to danger. Soon, Nate and his little sister, Mila, uncover a chilling secret: the previous owner’s children vanished without a trace.

But someone is desperate to keep the house’s secrets hidden. And if Nate can’t solve the mystery of the missing kids in time... maybe he and his sister will be next.

Nowhere House is a gripping, twisty thriller that will keep readers guessing till the end.
