The book of Elsewhere is a mystery story by: Jacqueline West. In this story Olive along with her family move into an abounded house that is said to be haunted. At first she has no interest in the house and wishes to go back to where she lived. After a few days she starts discovering unique things around the house. She found a pair of spectacles that allowed her to see the painting around the house come to life. The first time she used them she went into a painting and found a boy named Morton. Morton told her that he had been trapped here by the bad man and talking cat. Olive felt intrigued, after Morton told her that she started to look for clues, and as she did she found her self betrayed by the only person she thought was on her side. As the story develops she becomes good friends with the three cats that used to belong to the person of the house and Morton. She has yet a lot of mysteries to discover and won't give up until she finds a solution on how to get Morton out of the painting for good.
In the book the main character (Olive) asks her self over and over who the bad man is. During the story the paintings always told her to go away for the bad man with get angry. Everyone seemed afraid of him. She discover the the "bad man" is actually Aldous McMartin the person that lived here before her family moved in. This question makes me wonder why was everyone so afraid of him?where the people in the paintings close to him or where they just paintings? As the story goes on she discovers that the only painting that was close to him was his granddaughter that was supposed to take him out a painting to live again once he died.
