For fans of Small Spaces and the Goosebumps series by R.L Stine comes a chilling story about a twelve-year old girl who must face down the most notorious ghost in her haunted East coast town to stop a centuries-old curse that threatens to destroy everything, from the New York Times bestselling author of Scritch Scratch and The Mystery of Locked Rooms.
Mallory hasn't quite adapted to life in her new town of Eastport yet. Maybe it's because everyone is obsessed with keeping the town's reputation as the most cursed town in the US.
And thanks to the nightmares she's had since arriving, Mallory hardly sleeps. Combined with the unsettling sensation of being watched, she's quickly becoming convinced there's more to her town. Something darker.
When Mallory has a terrifying encounter with the same old woman from her dreams, she knows she has to do something--but what? With Eastport gearing up to celebrate the anniversary of their first recorded legend Mallory is forced to investigate the one legend she's always secretly been afraid of . . . Sweet Molly.

The book starts off creepy, spooky. I was excited to read a book with real chills. But after the first few chapters, it became a slog. The ending was a letdown.The main character, Mallory, and her friends are 12 years old, but they talk and act more like 15-year-olds. The story is written in first person present tense, but the voice is well above that of the most erudite 12-year-old. How many 12-year-olds do you know that use words like "saunter" and "jeopardized"?
El libro fue recomendado en la lista de 6to grado de mi hija. A ella le interesó y lo terminó en buen tiempo.
Nothing like a good ghost story. I think you will enjoy this sleuthing middle grade book. Fans of Mary Downing Hahn will like Lindsay Currie’s books too.
We are reading this out loud with our kids 9 and 7 and they are LOVING it! It’s just the right amount of spooky and creepy.
Pleasant reac
