Unlock the Secrets of Hawthorne Manor… If You Dare!
A spooky haunted house chapter book for brave middle-grade readers ages 9–12.
At the edge of town looms the eerie and mysterious Hawthorne Manor—a house long whispered about for its ghostly sightings and buried secrets. But five friends—Oliver, Olivia, Ethan, Vio... let, and Jack Hawthorne—are determined to uncover the truth behind the chilling legends.
What begins as a daring exploration quickly turns into a spine-tingling quest. Guided by cryptic clues, spectral allies, and their own courage, the kids journey through hidden passages, dusty attics, and haunted hallways. They soon discover two mysterious boxes that may hold the key to breaking century-old family curse—and uncovering Jack’s hidden connection to the manor’s past.
But Hawthorne Manor doesn’t give up its secrets easily. With each twist and turn, the danger grows, and the house itself seems determined to keep its story buried.
Packed with ghostly adventure, mysterious puzzles, and rich family history, Secrets of Hawthorne Manor is a hauntingly heartwarming tale of friendship, bravery, and finding the strength to face your fears.
