About Horrid
After her father's death, Jane North-Robinson and her mother move from California to the decaying Maine house where her mother grew up. While Jane struggles with grief, anger, and bullying, her mother begins to unravel and refuses to explain the manor's past. Then Jane discovers that a locked storage room is actually a little girl's bedroom, preserved for years and seemingly occupied by something that should not be there.
