Bookroo's summary

At Shiverhawk Hall, the portraits of long-gone children hold a secret. When night descends, the DeVillechild twins and Pinksweet tots step out of their frames, leaving whispers and rustles in their wake. Are these mischievous spirits causing chaos, or is there more to their story? As the house creaks with mystery, the line between past and present blurs. What treasures or troubles will emerge from the shadows? Discover the secrets hidden within the walls and the playful spirits that refuse to rest. Will the truth of Shiverhawk Hall ever be revealed?

From the publisher

Edward Gorey meets Downton Abbey in a deliciously ghostly caper about mischievous children who won’t stay inside their gilded portrait frames. Welcome to Shiverhawk Hall! It’s a big old house full of treasure, mystery, and stories. Here, just look up on the wall. See these beautiful paintings? These are children who used to live here long ago: the DeVillechild twins, the Pinksweet tots . . . my, they look like such good children. So very well behaved. But wait a minute, did you see that? One of their eyes seemed to blink! Did you hear that? A rustle! A whisper! The tiniest scratch! Can it be that when darkness falls, the children on the walls at Shiverhawk Hall climb out of their paintings and run amok?
