Mallory
is homeless after running away from her manipulative and
cruel stepfather. She has nowhere to go and ends up at
the library. Thinking this is a good spot to hide, she
stays in the library after closing. Spencer, escaping
the pressure in his house, climbs the outside of the
library one night and gets caught and now has to do
community service at the library. Their paths cross and
Spencer, who is adopted and lives in a close and loving
family, is drawn to her. Then one night, Mallory hears
noises in the library and a body is discovered. She
continues to hear noises even after the body has been
removed, but she can’t tell anyone because no one knows
she’s there at night. Is the library haunted? Or is
there a murderer loose? Will Mallory find a place to
live? Will she and Spencer become involved? Read this
mystery to find out. ( Prepared by: Susan Henley,
