New release from the author of The Translucent Boy! Simon Moody’s mom inherits her wealthy Uncle Edmund’s estate, giving them more than enough money to pay all four years of Simon’s upcoming college tuition. The only problem is, they have to leave Brooklyn, move to the little town of Caligo Falls, and make Wilder House, the infamous Victorian mansion built by Edmund’s grandfather in 1905, their new home. They’ve also inherited a mysterious caretaker named Harrington, and a punctual but melancholy cook, Mrs. Morley.

Edmund Wilder leaves Simon a mysterious ring, along with a cryptic note, a quote from Hamlet. There are more things in heaven and Earth, Horatio, than are dreamt of in your philosophy. Simon and his new friend Clara Barley soon find themselves entangled in the unfathomable, sometimes terrifying, sometimes heartbreaking mysteries of Wilder House.

Welcome to Caligo Falls, New Hampshire, population 329, not including ghosts.

The Ghost Ring: Welcome to Wilder House Reviews

  • Brenda Lee

    Good read

    This is a very good book. The story was very interesting and the characters were great. You did a very good job. A must read.

  • Rea Martin

    A mother and son, recently abandoned by their husband and father, receive an unexpected, though spooky inheritance from a long lost great uncle. This book has it all: ghosts, magic, time travel, unimaginable wealth, romance and hilarious dialogue. I so enjoyed this new facet of Tom Hoffman's considerable imagination. Another story of his that both adults and tweens/teens will all enjoy. It should be a movie. Keep them coming!

    Neat Story

    Very interesting storyline -- multifaceted and not always what you expect. There's humor as well. Editor should have caught a few things; but nothing that detracts. Recommend for tweens and those who enjoy ya books.
