The Shadows by Jacqueline West is the first book in the Books of Elsewhere series. The books is about eleven year old Olive who has moved into a huge, slightly spooky, Victorian home with her distracted parents. Olive soon discovers that the house is full of more than the furnishings of the deceased previous owner. There are paintings that seem to move, but cannot be removed from the walls and a presence that seems to watch her. Talking cats, paintings that are windows into Elsewhere and an evil old man from the past make this book both fun and thrilling to readers.
