The House That No One Sees gives us a new YA voice and a new way to approach a powerful and compelling story that hides within itself. Few debut novels have been this bold—or this memorable. This book will be released March 2025. Be on the lookout for it. Or you can preorder it now.

Together, they create a narrative of shattered memory, grief, and resilience, capturing the ways trauma fractures and reshapes us, moments of emotional clarity that linger like an afterimage.

King’s poetry is alternatively lyrical and understated then jagged and raw, shaping emotions too complex for conventional narrative, while her prose is crisp and unsparing, grounding the story in stark reality.

The novel’s narrative structure—a mix of prose and verse—is exacting and honest, often painfully so, drawing the reader into an experience that feels both deeply personal and universally resonant as Penelope rebuilds her identity from a kaleidoscope of fragmented memories.

When a manipulative text pulls Penelope back to the house she’s spent years trying to forget, she must confront the ghosts of her past and the trauma that she’s long suppressed.

From the first page, I was blown away. The story is about sixteen-year-old Penelope Ross, who is caught between the wreckage of her mother’s opioid addiction and the fragmented pieces of her own identity.

The best part of NCTE is finding ARCs of books no one has heard about yet. At the Macmillan booth, I grabbed a copy of The House That No One Sees by Adina King. I was lucky—it was by far the most popular get, and there were only a couple copies left when I got mine.
