The Secret Life of Owen Skye (2013)
“It was in the woods beside the bull’s field, and because it was haunted it was completely deserted.
No one knew why the deserted house was in the middle of the woods. Trees hadn’t been cleared, except where the building was. The front door was nailed shut but the window beside it was easy to climb through, and the sign warning people away had fallen down and had moss over it.
The house had never been finished. Inside they had to climb the beams to get to the second floor, and the walls wer...e open. They could look from room to room and see where the electrical wires were supposed to go, the pipes and the furnace vents. Owen found a doorknob on the floor and Andy found a bone-handled knife with a rusty blade that he oiled and sharpened back into shape. Leonard found a clawhammer with one broken prong. There were rusty nails lying around, and odd bits of wood.
And right in the middle of what was going to be the living room sat a red couch.MoreLess
