with her parents, she knows there's something strange about the

And when she puts on a pair of old spectacles, she discovers the
strangest thing yet: She can travel inside the paintings, to a
spooky world that's full of dark shadows. Add to that three talking
cats, who live in the house and seem to be keeping secrets of their
own, and Olive soon finds herself confronting a dark and dangerous
power that wants to get rid of her by any means necessary. It's up
to Olive to save the house from the dark shadows, before the lights
go out for good.
