  When Hailey's little sister is taken by a sinister ghost, it's up to Hailey to save her—before it's too late. A bone-chilling novel from Lindsey Duga, author of The Haunting and Ghost In the Headlights! 
   
   
   
  Twelve-year-old Hailey Madison and her family are trading the hustle-and-bustle of the city for a farmhouse in the town of Harper's Fall, and Hailey isn't happy about it. Hailey's parents think the move will be beneficial for her little sister, Emma, who has always been uneasy around large crowds, but Hailey is convinced life on a farm will be dull. 
   
   
   
  She's wrong. 
   
   
   
  Over the years, there has been a string of disappearances in Harper's Fall, and it seems they may be linked to an old cornfield on the farm's property. Local legend has it the ghost of an old farmer wanders the farm on his horse pulling a hayrack, luring children on a hayride, and once he takes them into the cornfield, they're gone forever. 
   
   
   
  It's all ridiculous . . . right? 
   
   
   
  That's when the farmer gets to Emma on one eerie fall night, and all Hailey can do is watch in horror as the ghost takes Emma into the corn. Now Emma must rescue her little sister—and she's ready to make a deal with the devil in order to do it.

  "Absorbing ... Bittersweet ... A trio of friends who have enjoyed childhood island summers for years find that suddenly, everything is changing." — Booklist 
  "A skillful blending of the themes of adolescence, changing friendships, and old age." — The Horn Book 
  "Impressive ... A summer Roller coaster."— the Macon Beacon  
  Thirteen-year-old Ronnie (Veronica) was looking forward to summer on Harbor Island with her best friends, Mia and Charlie. The trio called themselves "the Clamdiggers," because they were as close as clams. They did everything together: boating, waterskiing, fishing, swimming, and playing their favorite after-dark game—spying on the Island's residents. But now, Ronnie finds that Mia and Charlie are growing up faster than she is, and the Clamdiggers seem to be falling apart. Ronnie finds solace in the company of Fern, an eighty-three-year-old retired concert pianist and the island's eccentric cat lady who likes to roam the island's wild places. Ronnie keeps her friendship with Fern a secret, and discovers that Fern has secrets of her own. 
  "Vivid, evocative ... Ronnie's impulsive actions, her discomfort with the changes in her friends, and her need to find new companionship will be understood by many middle-school age readers." — VOYA Magazine
