This is a supernatural thriller in which a 13 year old handicapped girl is chilled by odd events and illusions. Some say the house was lived in by a witch. Kirsty doesn't believe such things, but the novel climaxes with her and her step-sister in a terrifying situation. The supernatural seems to be a metaphor for Kirtsy's grief about her loss and her anxiety about ner new family. This would have appeal to Middle School readers interested in the supernatural.
