Now in paperback.\n\nFrom the author of The Whispers comes a heartrending tale of friendship, hard-won truths, and the healing power of forgiveness.\n\nA lonely twelve-year-old boy spends his days \"stuck\" at the deserted Hollow Pines Plantation in Georgetown, South Carolina with no recollection of his name, how long he's been there, and no idea how to leave. Things never change much for the lost souls at Hollow Pines and time is strange when you're dead. But when visitors from the living world arrive for the first time in a long while, the boy feels a spark of hope. These visitors are around his age, and they seem to understand more than others that the plantation is not just spooky or eerie, it's a sad place where the unspeakable happened again and again. And if these kids could understand the truth about Hollow Pines, maybe they could help him uncover the dark secrets of his past and help him find a way to finally move on. But Hollow Pines doesn't like visitors. And with a malevolent spirit lurking in the shadows and painful memories buried deep, and for good reason, the boy wonders if he'll ever find his way home or be stuck at Hollow Pines forever.","brand":"Penguin Random House NZ","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47289036669164,"sku":"9780593111901","price":21.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/4108803482399.jpg?v=1770585870"},{"product_id":"the-travelers-by-greg-howard-9780593111932","title":"The Travelers","description":"\u003cdiv class=\"book-description\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFrom Edgar nominee and author of the critically acclaimed \u003cem\u003eThe Whispers\u003c\/em\u003e comes a tale of friendship, found family, and the knowledge that even in death, those we love never really leave us.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWhen twelve-year-old Ben Turner's mum unexpectedly passes away, he's forced into the care of the only living relative he has left—a grandmother he's never met who lives in a place he's never been.
