About this ebook
* FROM THE BESTSELLING AUTHOR OF THE LAST HOUSE ON NEEDLESS STREET *
High in the mountains sits Nowhere, a green valley surrounded by walls of rock. People have lived at Nowhere for centuries, though never for long, and never happily. Its last owner was its most infamous: movie star Leaf Winham, who built Nowhere House to hide from his fame... and to hide his crimes. Only when Nowhere House went up in flames were the bodies discovered, lost young men who would never go home.

The Nowhere Children are expecting you...
