Amber House is a YA Magical Realism novel, starring Sarah Parsons, who comes to the titular house–a grand Maryland estate that's been in her family for three centuries–for her grandmother's funeral.Sarah and her friend Jackson decide to search for the supposed cache of diamonds hidden somewhere on the estate–but soon the House comes alive. She discovers that she can see visions of the House's past, like the eighteenth-century sea captain who hid the jewels, or the glamorous great-grandmother driven mad by grief. Sarah grows closer to both Jackson and a young man named Richard Hathaway, whose family histories are each deeply entwined with her own. But when her ghostly visions start to threaten the person she holds most dear, Sarah must do everything she can to get to the bottom of the House's secrets, and stop the course of history before it is cemented forever.This book was followed up by a sequel, Neverwas, which was then supposed to be part of a trilogy (later planned to be expanded into a tetralogy), but a tragic accident in the family put the series on an indefinite hiatus.Needs Wiki Love.

Hollywood Autism: Averted. Sammy is explicitly stated to be on the autism spectrum and is written very realistically. The author's stated that he was a composite of several autistic boys that they knew, and tried very hard to write him as empathetically as possible.
