Book Synopsis
Fans of K.R. Alexander, Mary Downing Hahn, and India Hill Brown will flock to this spooky book that will haunt your dreams...literally.
Shelby and Jane aren't happy to be stuck with their grandparents, tucked away in the Catskills, surrounded by old, abandoned resorts. The days seem to drag on, that is, until their neighbors tell them about the legend of the psychic that used to live in the resort next door. To this day, if you shine a light on the wall at night, shadows play out your future.
Shelby and Jane are no scaredy cats, so they go to check it out. To their horror, silhouettes appear and act out a murder. When the silhouette of the murderer stops what he's doing and notices them--his audience.
The kids RUN. But they can't escape the shadows that continue to haunt them in their nightmares. Will they be able to fight their fortunes...or will the nightmares become reality?
