Rachel hears strange voices. She sees things that aren't there. She always knows when something bad is going to happen. Some people may call the warnings a gift -- a power. Not Rachel. She just wants to be like other kids. But, when she moves into a big old house with her Great Aunt Irene and Irene’s ancient friends (The Fossils) and is given an attic bedroom, Rachel soon begins to understand the reasons for the warnings.

Rachel is an appealing character whose wry humour and lack of self-pity get her through some tough and scary times. The story delves deep into the world of ghosts and supernatural powers to give its readers a gripping tale they wont be able to put down.
