When eleven-year-old Priscilla's family moves into Mom's childhood home, the secrecy between her older sisters becomes infuriating. Priscilla eventually learns that the house's closets perform varying types of magic. The escape afforded by the magic closets fulfills an increasing need as Mom's troubled mental state and unpredictable behavior worsen. Haydu's first fantasy novel for younger readers is full of nuanced relationships.
