Used book – Quatre Soeurs, Volume 1: Enid, Malika Ferdjoukh

Enid has to take seventeen steps from the bus stop to Atlantic Cul-de-Sac, which leads to her house, Villa Hervé. One less than last autumn. Proof that her legs are getting longer, and she’s grown. Even so, she is still the smallest of the five Verdelaine sisters. No one believes her when she says she heard a ghost screaming in the park. Not Charlie, who's too busy fixing Madame Boiler for the winter. Not Bettina and her friends, who are too self-absorbed. Not Genevieve, who is preoccupied with her own very difficult secret to keep. Not Hortense, who is engrossed in writing her diary. Her parents might believe her, but they’ve been dead for nineteen months and twenty-two days. Swift, her bat, would surely listen to her, but he disappeared in the storm. Enid has to resign herself: "Convincing adults is like wanting an hour-old chewed gum to keep its original taste."
