However, Diana and Georgie will quickly discover that breaking the rules can have dire consequences.Mareena had actually requested this book for herself, since she had read Wait Till Helen Comes: A Ghost Story, another book by Mary Downing Hahn - when she was about ten or eleven years old. Lissa is about Diana's age, so Diana is absolutely certain that the girls would have a lot in common if only Diana could introduce herself. Recently though, Diana has begun to feel tempted to test these mysterious rules - perhaps even break them entirely - all in the hopes of making a new friend.When the new caretaker and his daughter, Lissa, come to live in the mansion, Diana sees her first chance to make friends. For many years, they've followed the rules and nothing has happened to them. Diana and her little brother Georgie have been living in the woods behind the house for quite a while now - sometimes it honestly feels like forever - and in all that time, the children have seen many potential caretakers come and go.According to a strict set of rules, Diana and Georgie aren't allowed to leave the property, or even show themselves to anyone.

The dilapidated Victorian house is empty, yet full of secrets.
