The Secret of Berry House

Imagine being five years old and suddenly your mother disappears one evening after supper. She had simply gone upstairs to check a strange noise in the house. If that isn't frightening plus confusing enough, for the next five years of your young life, you are left in the care of a wicked old housekeeper and her nasty troublemaking cat. During this time, your once-loving father slips into depression, moving from the house to his office, about the carriage house to lose himself in his work. One day you too disappear as you are pulled by a strange force through a crack that abruptly appears. This is where your true adventure begins.
