Die zehnjährige Alice ist ein Umzugsprofi. Sie zieht mit ihren Eltern von Haus zu Haus. Oder besser: von Bruchbude zu Bruchbude. Kein Problem für Alice, denn sie liebt nichts mehr, als Dinge zu reparieren. Nach Umzug Nummer elf kommt ihr das heruntergekommene Nachbarhaus gerade recht. Das perfekte neue Reparaturprojekt! Doch sie ist nicht allein: Gleich drei Geister spuken hier herum – und die brauchen ihre Hilfe genauso dringend wie die bröckeligen Wände … »Nur ein Herz aus Stein könnte sich nicht für die clevere, kompetente und resolute Alice erwärmen, oder genau genommen für das gesamte Personal, da-runter ihre Eltern und eine ganze Reihe ausnahmslos interessanter Vorfahren. Gut besetzt, gut erzählt, und vor allem einfach grandios.« – Kirkus Reviews
