The Ghosts of Stony Clove - Hardcover

This is my first published novel.  I'm so grateful for my publishers at Scholastic and Tor for Kids for giving it a chance.  And to my wonderful readers...thank you!

It begins as a dare.  Asher, angry with the world and in disgrace for putting snakes in the Kermis punchbowl, and Ginny, drawn to Asher by an empathy she cannot let him see and determined not to be left behind, set out to visit Squire Sutherland's overgrown house beyond the gap in Stony Clove, a place the whole town avoids as the work of the devil.They find not the devil, but an old, old man haunted by ghosts from a past stranger than any they could have imagined.  they flee in terror, but are pulled back, almost against their wills, by a shared dream of a white dog in a swirling mist.As their fear turns to pity, Ginny realizes that she will stay to help the old man, but Asher's destiny will take him far away to America's western lands before the ghosts that haunt all three of them are laid to rest.
