This time, though, it\u2019s not their usual summer vacation trip. In fact, everything\u2019s different. It\u2019s fall, not summer. Mom and Dad are staying behind to have a \u201ctalk.\u201d And Nanaleen\u2019s house smells weird, plus she keeps forgetting things. And these aren\u2019t the only things getting under Simon\u2019s skin: He\u2019s the only one who knows that his name is Simon, and that <i>he<\/i> and <i>him<\/i> pronouns are starting to feel right. But he\u2019s not ready to add to the changes that are already in motion in his family.<br \/>\nTo make matters worse, Simon keeps hearing a scratching in the walls, and shadows are beginning to build in the corners. He can\u2019t shake the feeling that something is deeply wrong\u2026and he\u2019s determined to get to the bottom of it\u2014which means launching a ghost hunt, with or without his sisters\u2019 help. When Simon discovers the hidden story of his great-aunt Brie, he realizes that Brie\u2019s life might hold answers to some of his worries. Is Brie\u2019s ghost haunting the old O\u2019Hagan house? And will Simon\u2019s search for ghosts turn up more secrets than he ever expected?<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\t\t<script type=\"application\/ld+json\">\n{\n\t\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\n\t\"@type\":\"Review\",\n\t\"datePublished\": \"2023-02-28T11:00:00+00:00\",\n\t\"description\": \"\\nHappy Tuesday and welcome to my stop on the blog tour for THE HOUSE THAT WHISPERS by Lin Thompson!
