The Family Curse: A Tale from Lincoln Heights

Some debts are written in blood—and the dead always collect.

Ethan thought the worst thing about Lincoln Heights Middle School was the cafeteria food. He was wrong.

When mysterious doors appear overnight, ice cream trucks play broken lullabies, and shadows move independently of their owners, Ethan and his friend Maya discover their school sits on something far darker than bad history.

The curse began in 1930, when desperate families made terrible bargains during the Great Depression. Now it's hunting their descendants, and it won't stop until it collects what it's owed. With their thirteenth birthdays approaching, Ethan and Maya must uncover the truth about their bloodlines before the curse claims them forever.
