I remember the cover being colorful there might’ve been a house on it. The name was something long and it included the word house. I think my memory is fuzzy. I read it in six grade I think the house might’ve changed or it was very mazelike. I think the library was a bit rundown, and it was very big. And there was also some thing about a cat somewhere might’ve been a black cat. Not a very high reading level I would say between third and seventh. please help me find this book. It gave me a very mystical feeling and is very nostalgic to think about.
