The book Deep and Dark and Dangerous by Mary Downing Hahn is a fiction story (ghost story) about going on vacation with her cousin and Aunt. This book is about how Ali wants to go to a beach house with her aunt but her mother doesn’t want her to go. When her mother was young and went to the lake she had a bad time. One of my favorite parts is when Ali meets a girl who she doesn’t like. For anyone who likes mystery or enjoys a ghost story, you should try this book.

This book is about a girl named Ali going away for the summer with her aunt. When shes there she meets a girl named sissy. Sissy is not the nicest person. Wierd things , bad things have been happening around the summer home . But Ali discovers something about Sissy , something scary, something so shocking it will want to make you read more….. even though this book gets a little confusing it will all play out in the end, i love this shocking realistic fiction , mystery book. This book is a good book for mystery lovers.

This is one of my favorite books! It always keeps you wondering what will happen next, and it’s VERY suspensful! This is a MUST READ book, I loved it!

It seems like we always have to mention food and bad puns — even when we’re talking about scary stories! But there’s also plenty of spine-tingling terror in our latest podcast, all about spooky stuff. Are you frightened by the idea of a duel with the devil, an evil plot to turn children into rodents, and ghosts who move among mortals? Then beware our new podcast!
