From master of middle grade horror Mary Downing Hahn, a new thriller about bravery, unexpected friendship, and sinister cats that will captivate readers with its chilling mix of mystery and magic. Danni loves spending the summer with her Aunt Alice, and her aunt's new house is the perfect place to cosy up with a good book.

And Danni can't deny that the wild black cats who live there seem to be watching her. When she encounters a mean old woman who claims to be their owner, Danni realises there's more to the cats than meets the eye. But little does she know that the closer she comes to discovering their secret, the more danger she's in...
