is a different type of mystery. The story’s setting is similar to Naylor’s
other book - Shiloh. Ellen lives in a back woods home with her father.
Ellen’s mother died when she was young and her brother died a few years
ago from a fall off a horse. They still own the horse and a dog named Turbo.
Ellen’s dad took a new job as a traveling salesman, so Ellen is home alone
for the first time, and for 3 whole days. One day, Ellen visits a neighbor
everyone calls Granny Bo. Granny Bo describes a night cry in this way:
(Read some of page 21). Then one night Ellen is home alone and she hears
a noise. (Read some of page 49).
