The day Hadley discovers the lone glass eye in the empty attic of her new house is the day her life changes forever. As she settles into her new beautiful but creepy house with her new stepfather (who's just a little dull) and her new stepbrother (who's just a little annoying), she soon discovers that things aren't as they seem. For one thing, the old woman renting the room above the garage has a strange obsession with baking and making life-like dolls of her neighbours. Soon she discovers a doll house - an exact replica of her new house - that both fascinates her and gives her the creeps. Holding the glass eye one night, she makes a wish that changes everything she knows to be true.

"Read this one with the lights on." --Booklist

"Cohen crafts a pleasingly shivery tale of greed, repercussions, and innocence. A must-have for horror fans." --School Library Journal

"Cohen makes maximum use of creaking doors and strange shadows to create a delightfully chilling atmosphere, while an unnerving neighbor and whispered rumors heighten the suspense." --The Bulletin
