Publisher's summary

Olive thought she'd uncovered all the house's secrets. She was wrong.

It's Halloween night when strangers come to Linden Street...and something dear to Olive goes missing. To what lengths will she go to get it back? Can she trust the strangers? Will she turn to a new and dangerous magic within the paintings of Elsewhere? Or will she put her faith in her own worst enemies to save the people and home she loves?

The stakes grow higher, the secrets more dangerous, and mystery and magic abound as Olive, the boys, and the cats uncover the true nature of the house on Linden Street. A must-listen fantasy series for fans of Pseudonymous Bosch, Coraline, and Septimus Heap.

The Strangers

This book is amazing with all of the plot twists and cliff hangers! This book has such great sensory detail that I was able to visualize the whole stone house and Linden Street. And Lexi Fridel is a truly gifted story teller and narrator. She has a different voice for every character, and whenever I decide to read the books, I feel like her voice is missing. If you are unsure of continuing the series on audible, I would recommend that you download this book right now! Now, what are you doing? This could be time you are listening to The Strangers! Get going now!

Even bigger and better than the earlier books.

This is the 4th book in the Books of Elsewhere series. This one is darker and more suspenseful than the ones before. Olive meets some new characters and has to make even more choices this time. It's hard for her to know who's on her side. The narrator is excellent at making each character's voice distinct - most of the time!

perfect for family reading time

I have read every stir in the series at least twice. it used to be my daughter's favorite series when she was 11 and we used to go on road trips every week. as opposed to my favorite author Steven King you can get thru a entire book during a weekend road trip or a week of driving to and from school. examines ideas of Inferiority, trust, team work and patience. With some fantasy for good measure. The voice actor ( chef's kiss) UNLIKE THE GOD AWFUL AI NARRATED BOOKS AUDIBLE IS PUSHING OUT LATELY!!!!!
