An Indie Next Pick -- When eleven-year-old Olive moves into the crumbling old mansion on Linden Street, she's right to think there's something weird about the place, especially the walls covered in creepy antique paintings. But when she finds a pair of old-fashioned glasses in a dusty drawer, she discovers the most peculiar thing yet -- she can travel inside these paintings to Elsewhere, a world that's strangely quiet... and eerily sinister.
