Poor little Madeline. She's lost her mother. Her father has married a new wife and now she has an evil new stepsister who delights in tormenting her. To top it off, she's moving into a big old house with her new stepmother and sister, the house looks haunted, its walls whisper to her, its shadows beckon to her.

If only Madeline could find a way to make the best of her situation. If only her mother were still alive, this would all be some sort of dream...or nightmare.
