In this atmospheric historical ghost story, set in Ireland in the early 1900s, twelve-year-old Teresa often takes a shortcut through the village cemetery on her way home from the market. Over time, she begins to sense the presence of a ghostly girl named Emily. Teresa is not afraid because she has the gift of second sight - the ability to sense spirits and know things others cannot.
But when scratching sounds begin coming from inside a freshly sealed tomb in the graveyard, Teresa uncovers a horrifying secret and realizes she has become trapped in a nightmare she cannot stop.
The perfect easy-read for adventure for reluctant or transitional readers, for storytelling around the campfire, Halloween, or long winter nights. A creepy, spine-tingling tale of terror for readers who love stories that unsettle you, with age appropriate scares.
For fans of The Secret Lake by Karen Inglis and Spirit Hunters by Ellen Oh this atmospheric historical ghost story combines supernatural suspense, family secrets, and a gripping mystery. Includes black-and-white illustrations throughout.
