In this spine-chilling historic ghost story, (inspired by a true 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," or 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.

A perfect easy-read for reluctant or transitional readers, for storytelling around the campfire, Halloween, or long winter nights. A creepy, spine-tingling tale of terror for tweens who love stories that unsettle you, haunt your thoughts, and deliver just the right amount of scary, but not too scary, creepy, spooky, horror.

Perfect for fans of The Secret Lake by Karen Inglis and Spirit Hunters by Ellen Oh
