Elise and Franklin have always been best friends. Elise has always lived in the big house with her loving Uncle and Aunt, because Elise's parents died when she was too young to remember them.  There's always been a barn behind the house with eight locked doors on the second floor.
When Elise and Franklin start middle school, things feel all wrong. Bullying. Not fitting in. Franklin suddenly seems babyish.  Then, soon after her 12th birthday, Elise receives a mysterious key left for her by her father. A key that unlocks one of the eight doors upstairs in the bar . . .

      At first, Georgette Perna's voice sounds too young for a middle-school girl. However, it will appeal to this book's true audience, elementary-age students. Elise struggles to maintain her childhood friendship with Franklin as she begins middle school. She receives some guidance from her late father: Eight keys appear to guide her to hidden rooms that reveal secrets from her past. Perna subtly differentiates Franklin's and Elise's voices so their dialogue is clear. She captures Elise's torment as she faces persistent bullying. Overall, her reading of Elise's feelings is heartfelt and sincere. Listeners may become teary-eyed as they hear the wishes Elise's father left for his child. The emotional power of this story translates well to audio. C.A. (c) AudioFile 2011, Portland, Maine
