In a town like Flintlock, Prudence Penderhaus was a freak. A weirdo. A loser of epic proportions. That was until one word changed her life, and the town of Flintlock, forever. When a moment of long-awaited courage brings her to the porch of the town-dubbed spook house, uncovering an odd boy no one knew existed is only the beginning. My name is Prudence Penderhaus. I've never done anything remarkable. ​Never even bothered to look up. Until the day I found out I was dying.
