Gretchen by Shannon Kirk

5.0

Lucy has been on the run with her mother ever since she was two. If they land in some place, and someone gives the faintest inkling they recognize them from somewhere, Lucy’s mother packs up and finds somewhere else to live. Lucy always finds a friend she can be quiet with, but can never get attached because she knows eventually she’ll have to leave again. After another leaving in the middle of the night, Lucy and her mother finds a house on a property owned by Jerry and his daughter Gretchen, who is about Lucy’s age. Even though something screams off, Lucy is determined not to move anywhere again, anytime soon. Lucy discovers Gretchen is different, and has a creepy obsession with puzzles. Lucy soon becomes part of Gretchen’s obsession.
