(4) YA After relocating to Winnipeg with her newly separated mother, teenage Addie develops agoraphobia. Apartment-bound, she becomes involved in the complicated lives of her neighbors and, with the aid of a talking parrot and a ghostly visitor, unravels a mystery concerning the deceased owner of the building. The dramatic action is dulled by an overly detailed narrative that records every word of conversational minutiae.
