Fast paced and suspenseful, this new-kid-at-school story combines with a spooky mystery to offer an engaging and affecting story of fragile family bonds and fledgling friendships.

It’s bad enough that Courtney’s mom, recently divorced from her latest husband, has moved the family all the way from Vermont to Florida; but when she rents a rattletrap house on Cemetery Street, it’s just too much! Fifteen-year-old Courtney is used to being uprooted—but living on Cemetery Street proves to be more of a challenge than even Courtney can handle. Still, although the creepy cemetery and surrounding jungle next to her house are a bit spooky, Courtney doesn’t really believe in ghosts. Then strange things start happening. Lights flicker in the graveyard; tombs are desecrated with satanic markings; an innocent puppy is mysteriously killed. Suspense builds as Courtney and Josh, a handsome classmate, investigate rumors of devil worship in town, culminating in a terrifying Halloween night kidnapping and entombment. Solid detective work leads the young investigative reporters to uncover a diabolical publicity stunt by a celebrated author and his henchman.
