On Halloween night, things start getting spooky for the four girls, when the huge front door appears to shut itself, and their mobile phones lose signal.

Enquanto o mundo manifestava-se nas redes sociais e nas ruas após a notícia do assassinato de George Floyd, nos Estados Unidos – um crime de racismo -, uma das autoras deste audiolivro vivia sua própria “inquisição” ao ser questionada pelo filho, um menino negro de pele clara, o que ela, enquanto mulher branca, tinha feito para que Zumbi dos Palmares não fosse também assassinado. Essa interpelação aconteceu em maio de 2020, quando esta autora lia, para seu filho, o livro Amoras, do rapper e escritor Emicida, e em uma das páginas Zumbi aparece com uma fala potente: “Não foi em vão!”

Bella Bright has invited her three best friends to visit her new cottage, which stands in the shadows of a ruined manor house. As they explore, Bella thinks she catches a glimpse of a pale face in one of the empty windows. Who could it be? Things go from spooky to scary when they get lost in a hedge maze, and find themselves hurled back in time by the mysteriously burnt willow tree growing at the centre. Now trapped in 17th century England, Bella must uncover the mystery of how the manor was destroyed, find out whose face she saw at the window, and try to get herself and her friends back home.
