Or so she thinks. When she plummets through a hole in her backyard, though, Olive realizes two things that may change her mind: First, the wicked Annabelle McMartin is back. Second, there's a secret below-ground that unlocks not one but two of Elsewhere's biggest, most powerful, most dangerous forces yet. But with the house's magical cats acting suspicious, her best friend threatening to move away, and her ally Morton starting to rebel, Olive isn't sure where to turn. Will she figure the mystery out in time? Or will she be lured into Elsewhere . . . and trapped there for good? <p/> <b>A must-read fantasy series for fans of Pseudonymous Bosch, <i>Coraline</i>, <i>Small Spaces</i>, and James Howe's Bunnicula classics.</b><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"A fantastic story full of magic and mysteries."--<i>San Francisco Chronicle </i>on <i>The Shadows</i> "This is a great . . . read that will let your imagination run wild."--<i>TIME for Kids </i>on <i>The Shadows</i><br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>A two-time Pushcart nominee for poetry, Jacqueline West (www.jacquelinewest.com) came to writing by way of opera (she studied vocal performance) and acting (she worked as an actress at a dinner theatre while earning her degree). Looking back on it, it's hard for Jacqueline to believe she ever wanted to be an opera singer, but singing, acting, and writing have one thing in common, she says: "They're all about telling a story, about getting inside the mind of someone other than yourself." The Books of Elsewhere were inspired by a strange old house in Jacqueline's home town--three floors, cracking paint, sagging porches--that was owned by a professor who created all sorts of odd contraptions. Like lots of kids who live mostly in their imaginations, Jacqueline was obsessed with all things mysterious, creepy, and darkly funny, and with stories where magic intersects with everyday life. She was enthralled by Roald Dahl, Lewis Carroll, John Bellairs, <i>Mrs. Frisby and the Rats of Nimh</i>, <i>Calvin and Hobbes</i>, <i>Bunnicula</i>, etc. Jacqueline lives with her husband and their dog, Brom Bones (of <i>Sleepy Hollow </i>fame).
