Customer Reviews

This is a must-read for anyone

At first when I picked up this book, I wasn't sure if I would really enjoy it. But as soon as I started reading, I got intensely wrapped up in the predicament of Hannah Kincaid, a teenager who was sent to live with her great-aunt on Martha's Vineyard. While she is there, she starts seeing things...Not only does she think she sees someone at night, but she starts having visions and dreams of a past time. Her life in the present with her new surroundings and new friends intertwines interestingly with the exciting and suspenseful events befalling her. The books wraps up with a satisfying ending that will make you want to read it again (I know I did!). I believe that anyone in middle school or high school could easily find this book engrossing, for many reasons. You can really "connect" with the characters in this book, because they were written very realisticly. And it's a fun book in general too. It isn't a chore to read; it's a very good rainy day book, when you want something that isn't very hard to read yet has a lot of substence. I would recommend this book to anyone, and I'm definately going to be reading it many more times again.
