The Ghost of Willow Brooke Manor

When eight-year-old Sarah Henley moves with her parents to the remote Willow Brooke Manor in the Scottish Highlands in 1940, she discovers the estate has been empty for over twenty years. The Gothic mansion holds the portrait of Elizabeth McKenzie, a young girl who died in 1887, and Sarah soon realizes she can see and communicate with Elizabeth's restless spirit. Elizabeth has been waiting decades for her parents to return, unable to understand why they disappeared so suddenly on the night before her twelfth birthday.

As Sarah befriends the lonely ghost, Elizabeth reveals that her father used to speak in riddles about a family treasure hidden "where the rose blooms eternal." Together, they begin investigating the mystery through old ledgers and hidden clues throughout the manor, uncovering evidence of mounting debts and threatening visits from a sinister creditor named Mr. Blackwood in the months before the family's disappearance. Their search leads them through the overgrown rose garden, to secret compartments, and family documents that gradually reveal the dark truth about why the McKenzie parents never returned home, and what really happened to Elizabeth on that tragic winter night in 1887.
