About this listen

Eleven-year-old Olivia Brown has been in care since she was five. She has just been asked to leave her eighteenth placement.

Her new home is a secluded farmhouse, centuries old, where she slowly bonds with her foster family. But the house holds dark secrets. The danger is real - but does it come from the twisted mind of a very disturbed child?

Not very enjoyable read. Was interesting perspective of young girl moving round various foster homes but I think this might have worked better as a book.
