Bookroo's summary

Elise's life changes when she receives a key from her late father, unlocking one of eight mysterious doors in the barn. As she navigates middle school challenges like bullying and shifting friendships, Elise must confront hidden truths about her past. What secrets lie behind the remaining doors, and how will they reshape her world? With her friendship with Franklin on shaky ground, Elise embarks on a journey of discovery that could alter everything she thought she knew.

From the publisher

Elise and Franklin have always been best friends. Elise has always lived in the big house with her loving Uncle and Aunt, because Elise’s parents died when she was too young to remember them. There’s always been a barn behind the house with eight locked doors on the second floor. When Elise and Franklin start middle school, things feel all wrong. Bullying. Not fitting in. Franklin suddenly seems babyish. Then, soon after her 12th birthday, Elise receives a mysterious key left for her by her father. A key that unlocks one of the eight doors upstairs in the bar . . . SUNSHINE STATE AWARD FINALIST!
