For fans of Small Spaces and the Goosebumps series by R.L Stine
comes a chilling ghost story about a girl living in the decrepit and
creepy mansion, who discovers something in the woods is after her.
All Ginny Anderson wants from her summer is to sleep in, attend a
mystery writing workshop, and spend time with her best friend. But when
Ginny's father--a respected restoration expert in Chicago--surprises the
family with a month-long trip to Michigan, everything changes. They
aren't staying in a hotel like most families would. No, they're staying
in a mansion. A twenty-six room, century-old building surrounded by
dense forest. Woodmoor Manor.
But unfortunately, the mansion has more problems than a little peeling
wallpaper. Locals claim the surrounding woods are inhabited by mutated
creatures with glowing eyes. And some say campers routinely disappear in
the woods, never to be seen again.
As terrifying as it sounds, Ginny can't shake the feeling that there's
something darker . . . another story she hasn't been told. When the
creaky floors and shadowy corners of the mansion seem to take on a life
of their own, Ginny uncovers the wildest mystery of all: There's more
than one legend roaming Saugatuck, Michigan, and they definitely aren't
after campers.
It's after her.
"This is a teeth-chattering, eyes bulging, shuddering-and-shaking,
chills-at-the-back-of-your-neck ghost story. I loved it!"--R.L.
