The Olivia Kidney Series

Alice in Wonderland meets The Graveyard Book in this urban spook fantasy.


Olivia Kidney

Book One

Olivia Kidney has just moved to another new apartment building, and Olivia’s the new kid in school, again. Olivia thinks she’s fed up with new places… until she gets a look at her building! Sure, it looks normal from the outside, but inside things are crazy. There are talking lizards crawling everywhere. An exiled princess haunts the hallways, and Olivia finds one apartment made entirely of glass! She’s meeting fantastical characters and seeing wondrous sights that make Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland seem tame. But among all the ghosts and pirates and princesses, can Olivia find a friend?

Book Two

What is it with Olivia and ghosts? No matter where Olivia Kidney goes, they follow. even when she and her klutzy handyman father start over in a new brownstone in New York City—owned by the mad, bad, and dangerous Ansel Plover—there is no escape from the weirdness that is Olivia's life. Their new living room is entirely submerged underwater, and Olivia needs a boat to navigate past the bobbing furniture and snapping turtles just to get to her bedroom. Complete strangers show up in the middle of the night to practice bumping into walls! And then, there are the ghosts. The house holds secrets, lots of them—Olivia can feel it. Why, she wonders, was she invited to live there?
