Deep and Dark and Dangerous
Deep and Dark and Dangerous | Mary Downing Hahn
7 posts | 27 read | 7 to read
Just before summer begins, 13-year-old Ali finds an odd photograph in the attic. She knows the two children in it are her mother, Claire, and her aunt Dulcie. But who’s the third person, the one who’s been torn out of the picture? Ali figures she’ll find out while she’s vacationing in Maine with Dulcie and her four-year-old daughter, Emma, in the house where Ali’s mother’s family used to spend summers. All hopes for relaxation are quashed shortly after their arrival, though, when the girls meet Sissy, a kid who’s mean and spiteful and a bad influence on Emma. Strangest of all, Sissy keeps talking about a girl named Teresa who drowned under mysterious circumstances back when Claire and Dulcie were kids, and whose body was never found. At first Ali thinks Sissy’s just trying to scare her with a ghost story, but soon she discovers the real reason why Sissy is so angry. . . . Mary Downing Hahn is at her chilling best in this new supernatural tale that’s certain to send shivers down her readers’ spines.

Mehso-so

This used to be an annual summer read for me. It is a fun quick spooky read that‘s perfect for summer but I think this is the year when I‘m too old for it. I liked the spooky elements but maybe it‘s time to grow up

Ali finds a torn photo from her mom's childhood, but her mom and aunt refuse to talk about it or their summers spent on a lake in Maine. Ali's aunt asks her to accompany her and her daughter Emma for the summer to the same lake house. Things change dramatically when they meet the enigmatic Sissy. A great creepy story crafted by Hahn, the queen of creepy middle grade ghost stories!

Reading this one on my reluctant reader 13 year old's recommendation! He read this in his small group reading class and really enjoyed it so I decided to buy it. Looking forward to discussing this creepy little story with him! I also happen to love Mary Downing Hahn myself! Lol

Currently reading...not sure what to expect! It's a ghost story, I am up all alone in my dark house, and I am a total scaredy cat!

This was a solid upper elementary suspense novel. I admit, I had to watch a funny tv show after reading before bed because I didn't want to turn off the light!
