1926

When a heavy thunderstorm hits the school, nobody volunteers to clean out the old, dusty school library. Nobody except Maya and her three best friends: Tera, Grace, and Hilly. While dusting the highest shelves, Tera finds a hidden, century-old book with faded text on the cover: Ella's diary, keep out! Thinking the owner is long gone, the four friends sit on the old floorboards and open the pages to read it. But some secrets are meant to stay buried. The exact microsecond the cover opens, the thunderstorm outside rages violently, and the old ink on the pages begins to rewrite itself in real-time-describing the exact room the girls are sitting in. They thought it was just an old history book. They were dead wrong.
