Sarah A. Denzil: The Stranger in Our House, Kartoniert / Broschiert

Klappentext

Who have they let into their house?

Everything has fallen into place for the Aiken family. Tired of the city, Aaron and Meera relocate to the idyllic village of Little Crake along with their two children, Noah and Uma. The new cottage is a far cry from their cramped London apartment and the perfect fresh start.

Until fifteen-year-old Noah wanders alone into the forest. A search party combs the woods for three days. Aaron braces himself for the worst, convinced his son is lost forever. Then he finds Noah alive, hiding in the hollow of a tree.

But Noah doesn't remember any of his time in the woods, and he's changed. He withdraws from his family, sleepwalks at night and creates disturbing sketches of the nearby forest. Aaron thinks Noah needs more time to adjust, but Meera believes otherwise: the boy in their home is not their son.
