But can a house have a heart of its own?Ten-year-old Alice is moving for the eleventh time.She's lived in so many houses, each more broken than the last, that home to Alice is nothing more than a place you fix and then a place you leave.

Is there a heartbeat coming from the House's walls? Is someone looking at her? Soon she realizes she's not alone.
