Did you know that the Winchester House, where the Winchester Rifle family once lived, is haunted? And no wonder—there's a door that opens to a 15-foot drop into the garden, another plunges you 8 feet into a kitchen sink, and staircases circle back or dead end at the ceiling. In our story, Jesse and his best friend sneak inside just before an earthquake strikes. Experience their thrilling adventure in this middle-grade book about America's famous haunted house.

Bestselling authors Ellie Crowe and Scott Peters tackle the mysterious Winchester House during the 1906 San Francisco earthquake in this latest installment of the trailblazing I Escaped series.
