The house on Alder Road has been empty for eight years, and everyone in Port Aldridge agrees on one thing: nobody wants to be the one who goes inside first.
When the Bellhaven Group moves to demolish the abandoned Hartwell house for a new marina development, sixteen-year-old Wren Calloway volunteers to catalog what's left inside before the wrecking crew arrives. What she finds isn't a house someone moved out of. It's a house someone never came back to: a packed backpack still zipped, a retainer case never opened, a calendar frozen on a single circled date.
With her best friends Dez and Priya, Wren pulls at a thread that leads from a buried cannery safety report to a town councilman running for mayor, and to a truth someone has spent eight years making sure nobody ever finds. They have three weeks before the house comes down. That might not be enough time to save what's left of the truth inside it.
What the House Hid is Book Two in The Port Aldridge Files, a fast-paced amateur-detective mystery series for teen and YA readers in the classic tradition of Nancy Drew and the Hardy Boys, with sharper stakes and a modern voice.
