Shadow Play

By Dan Poblocki

Fans of K.R. Alexander, Mary Downing Hahn, and India Hill Brown will flock to this spooky book that will haunt your dreams... literally.

Shelby and Jane aren't happy to be stuck with their grandparents, tucked away in the Catskills, surrounded by old, abandoned resorts. It's like the whole town is trapped in a dream. The days seem to drag on forever. That is, until neighbors tell them the legend of the psychic who used to live next door. To this day, if you wait until night, then shine a light on the bare brick wall, shadows play out your future.

Shelby and Jane are no scaredy cats, so they go to check it out. To their horror, silhouettes appear and act out a murder. But then the silhouette of the murderer stops what he's doing and notices them -- his audience.

The kids RUN. But they can't escape the shadows that continue to haunt them in their nightmares. Will they be able to fight their fortunes... or will the nightmares become reality?
