Whose
voice could have helped Allie down from the cliff? Allie is sure
it was the ghost of a girl murdered in the glen years ago, but who will
believe her? Certainly not her parents or her 6th grade classmates,
who think Allie doesn't know reality from fantasy. Perhaps her teacher,
but it turns out only Dub, a friend, believes her. The plot is played
out at a fast pace with a richly described final event that reveals the
girl's killer, proves Allie right, and gives the troublesome classmate,
Karen, her comeuppance. (New

This is both a ghost story
and a murder mystery. Sixth grader Allie Nichols loves to go hiking
in an area of steep cliffs where there are many fossils to be found.
As the story begins, Allie is stuck and clinging to the side of a cliff.
She is helped down to safety by the voice of another young girl who turns
out to be the ghost of Lucy Stiles, who once lived in the house near where
Allie now lives. Allie finds Lucy's diary and soon realizes that
her own widowed mother is dating a man who was once involved with Lucy's
mother. The plot takes many turns and twists. This story of
revenge and murder is a real page-turner that you will not want to put
down. (Jeannie Bellavance bellavance@erols.com.
