This chilling sequel to Small Spaces finds Ollie, Coco, and Brian trapped in a ski lodge. The three friends and their parents are alone until the arrival of mysterious Mr. Voland, who tells them Hemlock Lodge is haunted. The hotel's creepy history gives this tale the necessary trappings of a classic ghost story (e.g., a dead skier appears at unexpected moments to deliver silent warnings). The novel's second half takes the danger one step further by re-introducing old villains and raising the stakes, making for a harrowing adventure.
