Spooked by a Suspicion - by Risa Nyman (Paperback)

Book Synopsis

One major life change should be the limit for any kid.

Rocky's theory

About to transition from middle school to high school, Rocky is shocked when his mother

announces her intention to marry Ted, a devious man with a devil's beard, ominous eyebrows in

constant motion, and black, beady eyes.

Rocky suffers a series of strange accidents and is convinced that Ted is using evil powers against

him. When Ted arranges to work at Rocky's summer program, Rocky plots with his girlfriend,

Olive, to expose Ted in an epic showdown to stop the marriage.

But Rocky's plans are halted when he's accused of stealing at his summer program and he suspects

Ted is framing him. Scared no one will believe him, Rocky runs into the woods where he

encounters a grungy, old hermit with a tragic life story who urges Rocky to return and prove his

innocence.

Rocky must reclaim his own reputation, before he can prosecute his case against Ted.
