A new girl has moved in next door-a girl who has never seen a Rubik’s Cube before, but who can solve it at once. There is something wrong with her, though, something odd. And she only comes out at night . . . Originally published as Let the Right One In.The inspiration for the 2008 Swedish film, the 2022 Showtime streaming series, and the 2010 American film Let Me In.
