When a family moves into a big, old house, it feels strange and unfamiliar to the kids - a bit spooky even! They soon discover a black cat is already living there, and it is spooked by the new owners. As they unpack and settle into their new home, the family decides to not disturb the cat and to pretend that they don't see it padding around from room to room. Will the family and their spooky housemate ever feel at home? This story about life changes and being patient in new situations is perfect year round, and especially at Halloween.
