Erie and Fun!

A young girl, home from boarding school, meets a young boy on the beach. He tells her that she will soon have a friend. When the girl looks up, after putting her head down for a moment, the boy is gone. The only tracks on the beach are her own! A few days later the boy appears to her in her house and tell her to bring her puppets and follow him. He leads her to a house in a poor section of town. There she meets a little sick girl and hears the story of "Allan". Was he really there or not is up to you, the reader, to decide! A gentle mystery for the youngest readers. It's a little spooky so parents may want to read it first to see if it is right for their child. The hauntingly beautiful pictures give this book just the right gauthic look. Although this book is out of print it is worth an OP book search!
