{"product_id":"the-haunting","title":"The Haunting","description":"\u003cp\u003eA dark family secret prompts a ghost to wreak havoc in this spooky novel in the spirit of Mary Downing Hahn. The only life four-year-old Emily has ever known is the Cold, unloved existence of being an orphan. But everything changes when the Thorntons, a young couple from London, adopt Emily, whisking her away to a new life at their grand estate. At first, life at Blackthorn manor is wonderful. But as Emily explores the grounds and rooms, she stumbles upon a mysterious girl named Kat, who appears to be similar in age, and the two become fast friends. Thats when things take a turn for the worse. Kat seems to know a curious amount about the estate, and strange things happen whenever shes around. In one case, Emily narrowly avoids getting toppled by a bookcase in the library; in another, the fire erupts in the fireplace, nearly burning Emilys hands. Its almost as if someone -- or something -- wants Emily dead. Emily must find out what happened to the Thorntons and, more important, how Kat is connected to these strange goings-on at Blackthorn manor before its too late!\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Scholastic","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45869837910214,"sku":"DADAX9389628784","price":5.58,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0695\/9389\/1014\/files\/81_Z18-XrIL.jpg?v=1779430023","url":"https:\/\/ergodemedia.com\/products\/the-haunting","provider":"Ergodemedia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
