The Sisters of Straygarden Place by Hayley Chewins


 Mayhap is the middle sister.  Her older sister is Winnow and younger sister is Pavonine.  Their parents left a while ago and never came back, but told them to never leave the house or go into the tall grass. The house has taken care of their every need since.  Mayhap sees Winnow go into the grass and decides she will go out and look for her, but doesn't make it very far before the grass attacks her.  As Winnow returns that evening things turn for the worse.  Winnow becomes sick and starts to turn silver.  Mayhap starts to investigate things within the house and finds out how her parents came to be there, what happened to other occupants of the house and who she truly is.  

I really was intrigued by the summary of the book, but I just didn't love it.  It had good character development, a twisty middle/ end and lots of mystery/ clues, but it just didn't do it for me.
