Mystery
Emily Stewart is the girl who claims to stand between the
living and the dead. During the quiet summer of 1925, she
and her brother, Michael, are 13-year-old twins—privileged,
precocious, wandering aimlessly around their family’s
estate. One day, Emily discovers she can secretly crack her
ankle in such a way that a sound appears to burst through
the stillness of midair. Knock, knock . . . Emily and
Michael gather
the neighborhood children to fool them with these “spirit
knockings.” Soon, however, this game of contacting the dead creeps into
a world of adults still reeling from World War I. When the
twins find themselves dabbling in the uncertain territory of
human
grief and family secrets—knock, knock—everything
spins wildly out of control.
