During summer vacation, fifteen-year-old Richard becomes obsessed with Clio, the daughter of the eccentric family who has taken up residence at Wish House, and, drawn into their strange world, discovers that things are not always what they seem. Book available.
Amazon.com description: Product Description: Richard has hung out at the abandoned house in the woods during his summer vacation for as long as he can remember. But this year, he discovers that a family has moved in. The father, J. A. Dalton, is an internationally renowned artist who insists on painting Richardâs portrait, while Daltonâs wife draws the boy into her circle as though he were one of the familyâs bohemian adult friends.
But it is their beautiful daughter, Clio, with whom Richard becomes obsessed. Soon he finds ways to spend daysâand nightsâwith Clio, all the while struggling to understand and fit in with her eccentric clan. How can he know that some mysteries are best left unsolvedâand that the passions of a single summer will change his life forever?
