Book Description

Thirteen-year-old sleuth Skylar Robbins has a summer full of danger and surprises ahead of her: moving into a creepy mansion, learning to live with her bullying cousin Gwendolyn, and starting a new school full of interesting classmates including a genuine middle school witch named Kat. Skylar discovers a hidden garden in Gwendolyn's giant back yard, and Kat declares it the perfect place to perform spells. Practical Skylar is skeptical, until the magic appears to start working.

Malibu's Shadow Hills contains more than one mystery: Is Kat a real witch and a true friend, or is she just interested in the cute stable boy? Did she use magic to control Skylar's body, or was it all part of a complicated hoax? Who is making those terrifying noises up in Shadow Hills after dark, and what could be banging around in the attic at midnight? Armed with her detective tools, brains, and a huge dose of courage, Skylar will face her deepest fears to find the truth.
