Bird by Rita Murphy

Can a house be evil or just the person who desires it above all? If Miranda doesn't find the right answer, she might never escape. Or does she really want to escape the only real home she has ever had. Everyone in the small town stays away and when she does go to town, she hears the whispers of a curse that destroyed all who lived there. She also wonders why her real family never came to find her whereabouts when she was young and just blew to the house. Yes, blew in and that is why she is forced to wear those heavy shoes by the widow Wysteria Barrows, the owner of Bourne Manor. Can she really fly away just like the kites she found hidden in a secret room? Why must all the doors be locked every night? Is the widow trying to lock Miranda in or is she trying to keep something awful locked out? If you can follow the many twists and turns, you will learn the answers hidden just under the surface? How many clues did you miss?
