<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>People said the ghost of a drowned girl roamed the hills. Was this the wild-looking child 11-year-old Hilary and her brother Willy glimpsed in the woods? If not, who could she be? A suspense-filled story where truth is hidden around the bend, in the morning mist or over the mountain. Winner of the South Carolina Children's Book Award.<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>Ellen Harvey Showell grew up in West Virginia. Her mother supported the family as a schoolteacher. She says, "To me, mountain dialect is not bad English--it's another kind of music to the ears." Showell's memories of screaming matches with brothers and sisters inspire her portrayal of scrappy but loving family life. She has a son and a granddaughter and lives in Arlington, Virginia, with her husband John. <br>
